Hi everyone! 👋 I am Himadri. I hope you’re all having a high-energy week!

A Premier Global Gaming Summit

The choice of Malfa Hall in Riyadh is symbolic. This event serves as a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy through the "Creative Economy." By hosting 10,000+ gaming leaders, GGS 2026 acts as a bridge between the West and the rapidly growing Middle Eastern market. It’s where the "Power Players"—IP owners, developers, and government officials—meet to sign MoUs and set the industry’s trajectory.

Massive Scale — Industry + Fans Unite

The numbers (100+ speakers, 10,000+ attendees) are impressive, but the depth of diversity is the real story. With media from 40+ countries and attendees ranging from indie developers to AAA studio heads, the show provides a 360-degree view of the industry. It’s a rare moment where the "business" side (investors and publishers) and the "culture" side (content creators and fans) operate in the same ecosystem.
