About

As we approach the end of 2024, it’s time to reflect on the challenges and significant changes the game industry has faced. We’re going to focus on covering topics rarely discussed in public, led by industry insiders who know what matters most. This summit is a must-attend for top-level executives who don’t want to miss out on game-changing insights.

We offer participants a unique opportunity to strengthen relationships with key platforms and investors, gain early insights into upcoming changes, and access the critical knowledge needed to succeed in the near future and drive greater revenue growth.

Beyond business strategy, effective leadership today requires resilience and well-being. Together, we’ll discuss practices for maintaining personal wellness while guiding teams through the industry’s evolving landscape.
