On September 21, the WN CEO Summit was held for the third time. This time it was held in Istanbul. About 100 top managers from 18 countries of the world took part in it.
The peculiarity of the format is the absence of lectures, a stage and microphones. The summit provides a unique opportunity for communication in an informal setting. The first part took place in one of the best restaurants in the city, the second — on a large yacht cruising along the Bosphorus.
In addition to networking, there were also closed discussions at the event — the so-called “round tables” (however, the tables themselves were rectangular this time).
This is a traditional format for the WN CEO Summit. It allows participants
to exchange opinions and insights on a specific issue.
The following topics were discussed:
- “Let’s talk about UA. Experience working with alternative traffic sources”;
- “Business scaling. What should be taken care of first”;
- “Unicorn or disappointment. The role of venture capital in the history of companies”;
- “The Future of the gaming blockchain”;
- “How can non-core investors make money in the gaming industry?”.
Russian-speaking CEOs were expected to discuss mobilization.
However, CEO Summit is, first of all, an international event. Representatives of companies from the former CIS accounted for only 19% of the audience.
Most of the participants of the event — 57% — were from the MENA region.
Recall that the WN CEO Summit is an event that is focused on owners, founders and CEOs of companies related to the video game market.
The first WN summit was held in Cyprus in 2018. The second one is in Barcelona a year later. After that, it was not held for more than two years due to covid restrictions.
The next event of WN Media Group — WN Conference Tel Aviv’22 — will be held in Israel on November 23-24.
