WN Growth Summit Limassol'26

Limassol

About

WN Growth Summit is a business event for game industry leaders — focused on one question: where does growth come from now?

The program moves through three directions:

  • How growth is changing — new formats, new behaviors, new entry points
  • Where and how to operate today — teams, locations, and real decisions behind staying, moving, or restructuring
  • How to grow when you can’t outspend the market — practical ways to gain traction without large budgets

Format

  • Discussion-led, small-group sessions
  • Practical, experience-based conversations
  • A full day in a comfortable indoor setting by the sea, with lunch and coffee
