The DeanBeat: Women in Gaming breakfast kicks off diverse lineup at GamesBeat Summit 2022

I’m glad that we’re done with recruiting our 124 speakers for our 55 sessions at the GamesBeat Summit 2022 event on April 26-28.

The panel includes Tanya Watson, COO of Bad Robot; Christina Heller, CEO of Metastage; Francisca F. Phillips, global head of belonging and growth at Jam City; and Margaret Wallace, games and metaverse lead at Prasaga. I’m very pleased that Prasaga stepped up and sponsored the breakfast.
