The 39th Annual Conference of Game Developers (GDC) is quickly approaching in San Francisco, from March 17 to March 21, and the corner, Gamesbeat will be the host of the Crossfire Lounge on March 18, an exclusive verbal smackdown and only by invitation organized by Dean by Dean Takahashi.
It is a night of bite, networks and debates without restrictions among the leaders of the game industry, at a time when AI remains a question sign, direct marketing to players and sales are occupying the center of the stage, And players’ habits are changing unpredictably.
The pairs of two sincere and open games leaders will address each of these fashion button issues in front of a series of fierce debates, where they will challenge conventional wisdom, industry standards and with each other, in a fight until the end. They will face the pros, cons and SII, which brings new ideas and innovative ideas in light, and after each debate, the members of the audience will vote to determine the winner.
The space is limited to 150, to encourage debate without filter and without script and intimate and complete conversation. And it is a rare opportunity to eat, drink and commit directly to influential leaders and key decision makers throughout the industry.
“This is a unique meeting of debate style that offers a look behind the scene to the thought processes of the greatest decision makers of today’s games,” says Takahashi. “It is an interactive experience of forced assistance for all, from the veterans that we have admired for years to the rising stars that we are keeping our eyes.”
