The WN Conference Cyprus '24 will open its doors in Limassol next week, on September 12. Here's an overview of the program
From September 12-13, one of the largest cities in Cyprus will host the autumn session of the WN Conference for game developers and publishers. More than 800 participants and 40 speakers are expected, including representatives from Google, Unity, Playrix, G5, Belka Games, Nexters, Unfrozen, Nekki, Owlcat Games, and many other companies.
About the Event
WN Media Group is hosting the large autumn conference in Cyprus for the third consecutive year. Last year, the event took place on the same dates and gathered around 650 guests. The company first held the conference on the island in 2018.
The main part of this year's event, like the previous year, will be held in the halls of the five-star Parklane hotel. The venue is located on the Mediterranean coastline.
Speakers
The final program of the conference has already been published. About 30 presentations are planned. Let's highlight a few of them:
- Arseniy Alihanov, who is responsible for working with gaming companies at Google, will give a talk on trends in the niche for the first half of 2024;
- Maksim Shatilov, head of the UA department at Playrix, will share insights on mobile gaming traffic in a live interview;
- Alexander Bezobrazov, marketing director at G5, will present a lecture on how to pitch games correctly;
- Maksim Amosov, leading monetization designer at Nekki, will share onboarding secrets.
There will also be round tables. For instance, representatives from GEM Capital, Unfrozen, Eschatology Entertainment, and VEA Games will discuss how small teams can make deals with international giants on the first day of the event. The round table participants have valuable insights to share. Unfrozen, for example, is currently developing a new Heroes of Might and Magic installment.
Moreover, both days of the event will feature a third track. As part of this, the law firm Futura.digital, along with the migration company Discus Holdings Private Clients, will conduct a series of personal consultations on legal topics.
Developer Exhibition
The Cyprus WN Conference will also serve as a platform to showcase games in development by independent teams. During the showcase, over 20 gaming products will be presented to conference participants.
Traditionally, exhibition participants receive free admission to the conference. However, to present a project, they must hurry. Applications to participate in the showcase will be accepted until this Wednesday, September 4th, inclusive.
Additionally, there will be an expo zone with sponsor booths. Sponsors include Moloco, Yandex Games, Google, Gamelight, TikTok, Xsolla, GEM Capital, Adjust, Discus Holdings Private Clients, Poolday, ClevarTap, Appier, Digital Turbine, and many others.
Tickets
Ticket prices for the conference start at 289 euros. This is the price for an indie ticket without access to parties (two parties are planned – a pre-party and a large party at the end of the first day). A ticket with access to the pre-party costs 549 euros, while the premium ticket is priced at 649 euros. Prices will increase as the event date approaches.
Those who cannot attend in person but want to network with participants can purchase an online ticket for 199 euros. This provides access to the WN Hub meeting system, allowing attendees to network with all event guests and join the lecture streams.
