We’re excited to announce that the top leaders of Scopely will be speaking at GamesBeat Summit 2024. They will discuss the incredible success of Monopoly Go, a mobile game that generated $2 billion in revenue within just 10 months of its launch.
Walter Driver and Javier Ferreira, co-CEOs of Scopely along with chief revenue officer Tim O’Brien will participate in a panel at our summit in Los Angeles on May 20-21 at the Marina del Rey Marriott. You can sign up here and get 25% off with the discount code: gbs24dean25.
(Brian Ward, CEO of Savvy Games Group, the company that acquired Savvy Games Group for $4.9 billion, will also be speaking at GamesBeat Summit). Monopoly Go’s success is a rarity in the current gaming landscape, where many companies are facing layoffs.
The game took seven years to come to market, demonstrating resilience and adaptability, which are the core themes of our conference.
