Games Forum San Francisco 2026 takes place 26–27 October 2026 at the Hotel Nikko San Francisco, bringing together mobile‑gaming leaders for two days focused on acquisition, monetisation, retention, and growth strategy. As the only dedicated mobile game growth event in San Francisco, the conference attracts publishers, developers, product teams, and growth specialists seeking practical, immediately applicable insights.
The 2026 edition is the event’s biggest yet, co‑located for the first time with Appsforum San Francisco, creating a combined environment where mobile‑game teams and major consumer‑app teams can compare strategies, challenges, and solutions. This expanded format increases cross‑industry learning and significantly broadens networking opportunities. With eight hours of dedicated networking built directly into the schedule, attendees gain meaningful time to build partnerships, share challenges, and explore new growth channels.
Conference content focuses on the full mobile‑growth lifecycle: creative optimisation, UA strategy, retention frameworks, monetisation design, liveops personalisation, and data‑driven decision‑making. Sessions are designed to “cut through the fluff,” offering real case studies and actionable takeaways that teams can implement immediately. The event maintains a strict publisher‑and‑developer‑only pass policy, ensuring conversations remain relevant, practical, and free from sales pressure.
