Hello GDCy People!
If you’re coming to our GDCy FEST, there’s one more event worth adding to your Limassol schedule before the event kicks off.
On May 28, WN Growth Summit Limassol brings together founders, publishers, investors, product leaders, and growth teams from across the games industry for a full day focused on one thing: how game companies grow in today’s market.
While GDCy FEST is all about the wider gamedev community, creativity, and industry culture, WN Growth Summit is designed for conversations around business, scaling, partnerships, distribution, and growth strategy.
Expect:
🔥 senior-level networking
🔥 roundtables & interactive discussions
🔥 practical talks instead of trendwatching
🔥 direct access to decision-makers from game companies worldwide
Topics include:
— UA & product-led growth
— alternative distribution
— entertainment IP & licensing
— funding & investment
— team-building in uncertain markets
So if you want to spend your week in Limassol with even more value, networking, and business opportunities — come a day earlier and join the summit before GDCy FEST 🚀
GDCy community members can also get 10% off tickets with promo code: GDCY

☀️On May 29, CYGMA is running the first dedicated Teens Track at GDCy Fest 2026 — a 3-hour program for teenagers aged 14-19 who want to understand how the games industry actually works.
The afternoon covers: industry entry paths, the reality of being an artist in the age of AI, portfolio and freelance advice from developers who started young, university pathways through CUT, and a broader look at how development roles are shifting and what that means for people starting careers in gamedev today.
Closing panel: what senior professionals would do if they were 16 right now.
➡️Hosted by Yulia Tarasova, Head of Education at CYGMA.
🤩100 free tickets for teenagers. Parents who’d like to attend alongside their child are welcome - discounted tickets available at registration.

@Umpire78Что мы всё, право , о серьёзном? — в это воскресенье 10.05 в Ларнаке на площади Европы — ежегодное шоу классических и винтажных авто!
Буквально сотни разных, но обязательно прикольных тачек (и не только).
Ну и, чтобы не скучали, квест: найдите тёмно-зелёный Ягуар XJS рядом с оранжевой MGB GT и подойдите поздороваться к чуваку с трубкой в зубах. Это не только экспонаты, но и сикретни бар. =))
По промокоду GDCY и за небольшой разговор — мужикам негрони, дамам апероль. Ну или наоборот.
Короче, всё как всегда, вон, @TimFadeev не даст соврать. =)
