DevGAMM, also an event partner of Mobidictum, was born in Ukraine in 2008 and, for more than 15 years, has been recognized as an international game development conference bringing together game industry professionals from Eastern Europe and beyond. Each conference offers numerous networking opportunities, intense content from top speakers, new games from around the world, and much more.
The other day, DevGAMM announced its new CEO, Maria Chyrvona. Chyrvona is a content publisher and organizer with more than 10 years of experience in the game industry and expressed her views on the subject as follows.
Leading this team of talented professionals dedicated to creating exceptional business events in the gaming industry is both an honor and a thrilling challenge. Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed our team’s transformation, resilience, and triumph over numerous challenges.
Our focus has always been on advancing the gaming industry in emerging markets, bridging Eastern and Western Europe, fostering business ventures, and, of course, having a lot of fun along the way. At DevGAMM, we take pride in being more than just events; we are an event with heart. Our dedication to genuine connection, collaboration, and community-building is what makes us unique.
Looking ahead, we will persist in charging our events with the same passion for promoting innovation and creating business opportunities through original and enjoyable experiences.
After a decade, this company has become my home, family, and career path. I am committed to driving excellence, nurturing creativity, and amplifying the overall impact of our events. Let’s write the next chapter of DevGAMM to inspire and unite the games industry community around the globe.
We’ll see each other at DevGAMM.
Lerika Mallayeva, DevGAMM’s Founder, added;
Celebrating 15 years of DevGAMM has been a dream realized — from a modest gathering in a Kyiv garage to an international brand uniting game industry enthusiasts across Europe and beyond. Now feels like the right time to grow bigger.
I’m thrilled to announce that Maria Chyrvona, my esteemed colleague of a decade, is stepping into the role of CEO, steering DevGAMM to new heights. Maria’s journey from PR Manager to Content Producer, COO, and now Head of the Company has been remarkable.
Over the past year, we’ve carefully orchestrated this transition, sharing responsibilities with Maria and our incredible team. What a year it’s been! From our first event in Poland to finding new opportunities in Lithuania and the luxurious experience in Lisbon — largely led by Maria — showcasing the team’s growth and immense potential.
As the founder, I’ll concentrate on overseeing strategic decisions, and guiding DevGAMM’s executive direction alongside Maria. The possibilities are vast — here’s to fresh starts and bigger achievements. I hope you join us at DevGAMM 2024, starting in the gorgeous city of Gdańsk, Poland.
As DevGAMM continues to contribute to the game development community, we congratulate its new CEO, Maria Chyrvona, and wish her all the best.
