VentureBeat's GamesBeat 2009

I'm gathering data, shooting and hanging with interesting characters in the gaming industry at VentureBeat's Games Beat event in San Francisco.

VentureBeat is teaming with industry heavy-weights to explore how gaming is quickly becoming pervasive in both business and our everyday lives. It's a perfect day excursion for those in town attending the GDC (Game Developers Conference) at the Moscone this week.

Conference sessions will be streamed live through both the GamesBeat and VentureBeat sites. Emcees include Dean Takahashi (VentureBeat) and Chris Taylor (Gas Powered Games) with the first morning session covering where investing and business models are heading in the next five years.

There are also be a number of players who are presenting a five minute pitch and a winner will be chosen by a panel of judges based on their potential for marketability and financial success. The audience will vote on the “gamers’ choice.
