Game Publishing, Marketing & Community 2026 returns to London on 8–9 September 2026 as the only industry event dedicated exclusively to cross‑platform publishing, marketing, and community professionals. Hosted at the Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre, Gloucester, London, the conference brings together leaders from studios of all sizes to address the rapidly evolving challenges of player acquisition, retention, trust, and long‑term engagement. 

As players increasingly interact with brands across Discord, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and creator‑driven ecosystems, GPMC 2026 focuses on strategies that extend far beyond the game itself. Attendees will explore how to build meaningful player relationships, strengthen brand identity, and create communities that feel connected both inside and outside the game world. Sessions cover data‑driven publishing, player‑led distribution, community trust and safety, creator partnerships, and the shift toward direct‑to‑consumer and self‑publishing models. 

The 2026 edition expands its content with new tracks on distribution, community operations, and partnership‑powered engagement. Industry experts from leading studios—including CCP, Ten Square Games, Jagex, Supercell, Avalanche Studios Group, Socialpoint, and Dovetail Games—share practical insights, case studies, and actionable frameworks for navigating today’s competitive landscape. 

GPMC 2026 is co‑located with the Live Service Gaming Summit, and a single pass grants access to both events, creating a comprehensive environment for teams focused on publishing, live ops, marketing, and community management. This dual‑event structure maximizes value by enabling attendees to learn across disciplines while forming deeper connections with peers, partners, and technology providers. 

Designed as an intimate, closed‑door gathering, the conference emphasizes high‑quality networking and practical takeaways. Whether you’re refining your publishing pipeline, scaling community operations, or building a brand players truly belong to, Game Publishing, Marketing & Community 2026 delivers the insights and relationships needed to drive sustainable growth in an increasingly player‑led market.
