An engaging day of industry spotlights expert insights leading brands
Across two days in London, GamesNEXT will bring together decision-makers from game developers, publishers, and selected industry partners to discuss how games are being built, scaled, supported, and operated in today’s market.
Under this year’s theme, “What’s NEXT? The New Production Ecosystem for Games”, attendees will hear from senior leaders shaping the future of games — with conversations covering production, growth, investment, leadership, talent, D&I, AI, player engagement, operational efficiency, and the evolving role of external partners.
GamesNEXT is designed for practical insight, high-value networking, and meaningful conversations between the people leading from the front and helping define what the next few years in games will look like.
