And just like that, Gamesforum London 2026 has come to an end!

Over two packed days, the games industry came together in London to explore the biggest opportunities, challenges and trends shaping the sector.

With 500+ attendees, 200+ companies and 60+ speakers, the event brought together developers, publishers, marketers, monetization experts, technology providers and industry leaders from across the games ecosystem.

Two days of ideas, insights and conversations

This year’s agenda covered a huge range of topics, reflecting just how quickly the games industry continues to evolve.

We explored game discovery and development, including how studios can validate ideas before investing heavily in development, alongside discussions around ad monetization, marketing, player psychology and behavioural science.

And, of course, AI remained a major talking point, with conversations exploring how emerging technology is changing the way games are created, marketed and experienced.

From the stage to the pub quiz

Gamesforum isn't all about sessions and networking.

After a packed first day, attendees put their industry knowledge to the test at our pub quiz, bringing plenty of friendly competition and giving everyone a chance to relax, connect and have some fun.

Across the two days, those informal conversations continued over coffee, between sessions and throughout the networking areas, proving once again that the Gamesforum community is at the heart of the event.

Looking forward

If there was one clear takeaway from Gamesforum London 2026, it’s that there is no single roadmap for the future of games.

As studios navigate changing player expectations, evolving discovery landscapes, new monetisation opportunities and rapid advances in technology, sharing ideas and experiences has never been more important.

Gamesforum London provided a space to do exactly that.

Thank you, London!

A huge thank you to our 500+ attendees, 200+ companies and 60+ speakers, as well as our sponsors, partners and everyone who helped make the event possible.

From thought-provoking sessions and new connections to competitive pub quizzes and conversations over coffee, Gamesforum London 2026 was a fantastic celebration of our industry and community.

That’s a wrap. Until next year!
