“GameDev Summit 2024 is a wrap!
One thing that impressed me the most is that all the service providers in this region are a tight community instead of aggressively trying to out perform each other. The empowering vibe here is sincere and something I’ve never seen in other game conferences. We were all out doing excursions, eating, shopping and sharing our experiences with each other. Whenever someone encounter an issue, the other is quick to lend a hand so generously.
The gaming world needs to adapt this outpouring of love and care for each other especially in this climate. Thank you GDS for showing us what humanity looks like when we lift each other up.”

“GameDev Summit provided me an opportunity to make new connections, engage in stimulating discussions about the future of the game industry, and showcase unique narratives from voices that need to be amplified more in our sector.
I loved meeting with colleagues and partners from across the globe and had the chance to visit partner offices, improving my insight into their operations and work cultures.
Beyond the conference, I am deeply grateful for the chance to immerse myself in the rich Philippine culture, emphasizing its untapped potential. I'll also very honestly admit I indulged in unique local cuisine, and discovered the beauty and reality of the Philippines, all while enjoying the perfect beach backdrop.
Thank you to the organisation, and all those that made this an exceptional experience.”

Back on home soil (and back in my inbox) but I have to shout out the amazing GameDev Summit team for running an absolutely stunning inaugural event in Boracay.
It's been an honor and a privilege to attend. Thank you to Juney Dijkstra for putting together and hosting our panel and being such a wonderful moderator, leading the conversation so seamlessly. It was a joy to be involved.
To echo the closing remarks its impressive to see what the GameOps Inc. team achieved with no previous experience running events in such a short amount of time. It’s obviously taken a huge amount of dedication, determination, and talent.
Thank you also to all the developers that met and pitched to me, you were all so warm, passionate, and humble, I’m excited to see all the unique ideas coming from this region.
Watch this one, I reckon it could become THE destination conference! Roll on GDS 2025!
