About
The WN Conference in Abu Dhabi was a high-level deal-making event, marking its third edition and providing a fantastic opportunity to find new partners and connect with potential investors for the MENA region and beyond. With strong support from both the UAE government and private sector, Abu Dhabi continued to solidify its position as a key hub for business expansion and entry into the game industry.
The agenda featured a wide range of topics, including investment and growth, regional insights, gaming economy, analytics, esports, and web3. Throughout the conference winners of the WN Game Finder Contest were revealed. Attendees also explored the Developers Showcase and enjoyed two networking parties as part of the conference.
