One week until our free online Investment Summit

A full day of talks, more than 800 attendees, including over 500 developers

It's just one week until the GamesIndustry.biz Investment Summit Online.

Our free investment event is designed to support the indie development community seeking funds during the current COVID-19 crisis. It begins at 8am on Thursday, May 28th.

Almost 850 individuals are set to attend the event, which includes a full schedule of talks, a 16-hour meeting system via MeetToMatch and the return of GamesIndustry.quiz, our special 'pub quiz' challenge.

Talks include industry experts from Xbox, Team17, Frontier Developments, Digital Extremes, Kickstarter, Humble Bundle, Kowloon Nights, Miniclip and LEGO.

500 individual development teams have joined the event, alongside more than 200 investors and publishers. Service companies can also take part in the event, although there is a ticket price attached and there's only a limited number available.

You can book your tickets through here.
