Join us at this premier gamescom dev event – designed exclusively for executives and leaders in the global games industry.

The gamescom dev leadership summit Lisbon powered by Xsolla is dedicated to creating a secure and open environment where top-level professionals can network and tackle critical industry challenges.

This summit offers a safe haven for executives and team leaders to address pressing issues openly and under NDA, away from the pressures of public scrutiny.

Personalized Networking & Peer Collaboration

As an executive, you bear the weight of immense responsibilities, especially in difficult times when your team looks to you for direction. Finding a space where you can openly address your challenges, strategize with peers, and gain support is rare – yet essential.

The gamescom dev Leadership Summit provides personalized networking opportunities, allowing you to connect meaningfully with others who understand your role’s unique pressures.

Expert Insights & Industry-Leading Discussions

Designed by the team behind Europe’s largest game developer conference, the summit caters to high-level professionals responsible for strategic decision-making at company level.

You will engage with expert insights and participate in collaborative sessions that challenge your ideas and provide actionable feedback.

Confidentiality Guaranteed

We recognize the importance of creating an environment where executives can speak openly. Select journalists are still able to attend, but all coverage, both during and after the event, must be pre-approved by the organizers to ensure that sensitive discussions remain confidential.

No recording or live streaming will be permitted during sessions, and any post-event reporting will exclude personal or company-specific details, ensuring the privacy and protection of all attendees.

Roundtables

In collaboration with industry leaders, we are developing a three-day program centered on personalized networking, expert insights, and meaningful discussions.

To facilitate these conversations, six expert-led roundtables will be held, each focusing on a key theme and supported by potential subtopics designed to inspire and guide dynamic, meaningful discussions.
