UPCOMING EVENTS
INSIDER SERIES: BRANDS & GAMES – Presented by 
September 16, 2026 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
New York City
The future of media is interactive, and advertisers are taking notice. As audiences spend more time in gaming and interactive spaces, games are becoming one of the most effective ways for brands to reach consumers where they are already engaged. But for marketers, the opportunity comes with big questions: How do brands show up authentically? What does success look like? And how can companies measure the impact of their investments?
Join GamesBeat during IAB PlayFronts week in New York City for an exclusive salon bringing together leaders across gaming, advertising, and technology to explore where brands and games go next. Attendees will hear from industry experts and executives about the strategies shaping this rapidly evolving space — from creating meaningful player experiences and building partnerships with game creators to navigating measurement, scale, and the future of advertising in games.
Whether you’re a brand leader, agency executive, or marketer looking to understand the next major opportunity in digital engagement, this conversation will provide insights into how companies can build stronger connections with today’s audiences through gaming.
