Join us as we peek behind the curtain of what it’s really like to buy and sell tech start-ups and entertainment companies - the potential pitfalls, how it impacts company culture, and the emotional journey of handing over control of a company you built from the ground up. eOne’s Darren Throop (President & CEO) and Secret Location’s Ryan Andal (President & Co-Founder) discuss eOne's purchase of Secret Location in 2016 and Hasbro's acquisition of eOne in 2019, including Darren's first conversation with the late Brian Goldner that convinced him to sell.

Shopping malls, arcades, even mini-putt …all great examples of “location-based-entertainment” (or LBEs as we like to call them). Now, the definition of LBEs have expanded and it’s all about creating an immersive experience that adds cutting edge technology like motion tracking, projection mapping, and VR.
