One of the most interesting moments of our GamesBeat Summit 2023 conference will come in a conversation, or debate — on our online day on May 24 — between Sharon Tal Yguado, CEO of Astrid Entertainment, and Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox Entertainment.
They both have strong opinions about transmedia, or a blending of movies and games, which is a big part of our theme at our three-day summit that begins on Monday. And they don’t agree. This is just one of the reasons I’m so excited about our online day at the summit. We’ll have two days of in-person talks in Los Angeles on May 22 and May 23, followed by our online day on May 24.

I’ll also be holding a “watch party” during the online day. Ask me about how to join it on Twitter (deantak) or Facebook.
Tal Yguado comes from television and film, and she built studio divisions at Amazon and Fox. She spearheaded shows like The Walking Dead, The Boys, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time, and Invincible. Pitchford is familiar to us not only as a magician but a creator of games such as The Borderlands series. Now he’s taking a crack at a Borderlands movie and more. Seeing these two trade observations is going to be a real treat — and a fiery one at that. Their key point of discussion is what comes first in turning a single intellectual property into a transmedia success.
