We’re at the beginning of a new age where established companies are crossing over from one market to another, where once they faced barriers.

The game industry as we know it is changing, and with that change we’re seeing massive disruption, consolidation, innovation, and the arrival of big money across all platforms. Industry leaders are moving from console games to online, from social games to mobile, and from the web to Facebook and vice versa.

GamesBeat 2012 — VentureBeat’s fourth annual conference on disruption in the video game market — is gathering insiders from the hottest social, mobile, online, and console companies to dig deep on crossover strategies as the market continues to move underneath our feet.

And Like all VB events, you’ll benefit from plenty of high-level networking opportunities with 500 movers and shakers from throughout the game industry.
