Онлайн платформа доступна: 5 июня - 4 июля, 2025

About

WN Conference Istanbul'25 will take place on June 19-20, bringing together gaming industry professionals from around the world for two days of in-depth discussions, deal-making, and exclusive networking opportunities.

Day One will follow a classic conference format, with talks from industry experts, discussions on key trends, a developer showcase, and opportunities to meet potential partners.

VIP and Premium ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive boat cruise, featuring great food, drinks, and networking — all against the iconic backdrop of Istanbul.

It’s a tribute to the very first White Nights Conference, where it all began in 2012 - with a boat party full of ambition, creativity, and big dreams.

On Day Two, we’re preparing a variety of activities – including roundtable discussions, speed game dating, and investor pitches – to help you make the most out of the event!
