Investors connect with hot prospects at MENA's leading games event: Dubai GameExpo Summit

The GameExpo Summit powered by PG Connects returns this May 1st and 2nd after an impressive debut last year, hosting over 1,300 attendees.

With a brand new venue alongside the Dubai Esports and Games Festival, the 10-track conference is back in the heart of the world's fastest growing games market for 2024 - bigger and better!

More than 100 speakers and fabulous fringe events including the Very Big Indie Pitch and Publisher Speedmatch, are great draws, while the main focus remains squarely on connecting the best local talent with leading regional and overseas businesses.

Three ways for investors to connect

It's a perfect fit for investors and those seeking capital in particular, thanks to the Investor Connector event that helps plan pre-qualified one-on-one meetings, a central matchmaking system to make even more connections, plus a dedicated content track.

You'll even get a chance to rub shoulders with awards winners - or indeed pick up your very own award - at the inaugural MENA Games Industry Awards. Alongside the multiple games and service categories, we even have a dedicated gong for investors. Fancy your chances? Nominations are still open until April 7th!
