Welcome to the 2nd Annual Live Service Gaming Summit
The way studios approach everything from monetisation, backend engineering, IP, new solution integration, studio set ups, and more is dictated by quickly evolving live service trends. Live service games can be goldmines, but without proper launch prep, they can flop fast and cost studios millions.
Following the sold-out success of the inaugural Live Service Gaming Summit, we're thrilled to return and bring together top leaders from AAA and indie studios to tackle key technical and operational challenges in live service gaming. At this year's summit, dive into advanced LiveOps strategies, cutting-edge backend solutions, and player-focused game design and monetisation techniques. Discover how AI and automation are revolutionising art creation and localisation processes.
Walk away with actionable insights, valuable industry connections, and strategies to future-proof your live service games.

The Live Service Gaming Summit brought together top talent, covering all aspects of Live Operations, Monetization, and the technology needed to make their endeavours possible. It also offered fantastic networking, making it a great event for anyone in the live service gaming industry.
I found the conference to be extremely informative and am pleased a colleague found it and raised the opportunity to the business. I'm hopefully taking back some learnings and ideas that we will be able to use to improve our own processes and products.
The Live Service Gaming Summit was a great event, that fits our needs and market today. It was good to have a space to connect in this specific topic that often gets looked over at other events!
The summit was a great event, small enough to allow for great conversation and networking between sessions yet allowing for talks bringing insights on an ever-changing industry. Will come back.
