Founder of the DevGAMM, a game conference with heart.The event unites game industry professionals from all over Europe, thus forming a solid community to help create amazing new games. We’ve got relevant content, game activities for publishers and developers, effective networking, and more!Next event — DevGAMM Gdańsk, February 27-28DevGAMM was previously known as FlashGAMM. In 2008 I was an indie game developer/artist, trying to connect with publishers and international industry. This wasn't easy, and I felt like there needs to be a conference that facilitates connections between developers, publishers, and other games industry professionals. That's how my conference was born in Ukraine.In 2009 the conference was acquired by Absolutist, in 2013 by Renatus Media, in 2017 I bought my business back to make DevGAMM and help to grow game industry in our region.We had over 5,000 attendees per year across 3 events in BY\RU\UA in 2019. Then pandemic begun, but we learned how to make online events fun and productive. After February 24, 2022 everything changed. Because of the war in Ukraine we lost 3 of our shows. We will never make an event in Russia again. We hope to come back to Ukraine some day (btw, most of our team is from Ukraine 💛💙).We had to change everything and find new homes. Our first location is Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹 First event was a blast, same as second event in 2023.As a second location we chose Gdańsk, Poland 🇵🇱 We felt in love with the city and local gamedev community.The third location is sunny Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹 where we created a refined experience by the Atlantic Ocean. A truly business oriented, productive, but relaxing "workation".In 2023 was our 15th anniversary!
