The GameDev Summit (GDS) is a landmark B2B industry event proudly organized with the support of the Philippines Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and in collaboration with the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP). Held in the heart of the Asia Pacific, GDS serves as a strategic platform that connects the region’s top talent and studios with global leaders in game development, publishing, and investment.

Designed exclusively for industry professionals, GDS offers a tightly curated program featuring prominent keynote speakers, panel discussions with leading experts, in-depth workshops, and high-value networking opportunities. From thought leadership sessions to one-on-one business meetings, the summit empowers attendees to exchange ideas, forge partnerships, and explore new avenues for innovation and collaboration.

With its mission to elevate the Asia Pacific’s role in the global games industry, GDS shines a spotlight on the region’s capabilities in external development, co-development, and original IP creation. It provides studios, professionals, and advocates with a broader perspective on emerging opportunities and the evolving landscape of interactive entertainment.

GDS is more than just a conference — it’s where business meets creativity, and where the future of game development in Asia takes center stage.
