Part of what makes GamesBeat special is the audience it attracts and the community we've forged. As lead writer, Dean Takahashi has always been focused on bringing the best people into the room together to network, inspire each other and make deals happen. Now that room is a next-level virtual reality event space. Over the next four months, GamesBeat and Oculus will present a series of exclusive interactive VR gaming events to our confederation of gamers, developers and publishers, industry CEOs, executives, and venture capitalists.
