"A power place where participants will discuss how to make money from games," said Yulia Lebedeva about the WN Conference, which will take place in Istanbul on June 19-20
Yulia Lebedeva, partner and executive director of WN Media Group, shared her thoughts on what to expect from the event.
What do people working in the gaming industry have in common?
They are passionate about what they do. They know how to dream—and how to make those dreams come true. They constantly seek solutions where others see dead ends. Most importantly, they value interaction with those who are on the same wavelength.
This is exactly why, for the fourth consecutive time, we are hosting the WN Conference in Istanbul. This year, it will be June 19–20.
It’s not just a conference. It’s a powerhouse where participants will discuss how to profit from games even in these challenging times. They’ll share cases that worked (and those that didn't). They'll talk about solutions, not just problems.
What will be at the conference?
Two days full of content and networking:
- Hot topic presentations on the first day (preliminary topics are already on the website!);
- Closed discussions on the second day—one-on-one without any unnecessary ears;
- Project pitches to publishers and investors;
- Showcase and expo—not to collect merch, but to find partners;
- Two networking parties—the pre-party and the long-awaited boat event!
The boat party is more than just a gathering. It harks back to our first White Nights in 2012, which also began with a boat party—full of ambition, creativity, and business people who later achieved great success.
Who will attend?
Individuals with their own studio. Or platform. Or service. People who need more than just to "hear something"; they want genuine conversation. To exchange ideas. To make crucial connections. And just to be surrounded by those who understand.
What's the cost?
- Tickets start at 299 euros.
- Premium—with access to the Bosphorus party—is 399 euros.
(Prices will rise—don’t delay!)
Developers featured in the showcase receive free tickets. Applications for participation can be submitted here.
