We are returning to İzmir with the İzmir Games & Apps Summit, a one-day event designed to bring the games and apps ecosystems together under a single, clearly defined audience.
For the first time, Mobidictum is positioning a Türkiye-based event specifically around games + apps, reflecting how product teams, growth leaders, and founders increasingly overlap across both industries.
İzmir may not have the largest ecosystem in Türkiye, but it is widely recognized as one of the most vibrant. As the country’s third-largest city, İzmir has become home to teams and hubs that help shape Türkiye’s broader product landscape. The city is home to Ruby Games, which was acquired by Rovio, and Masomo, which was acquired by Miniclip. İzmir also hosts the app giant HubX.
Mobidictum’s goal with the İzmir summit is to expand its Türkiye audience by welcoming new communities and disciplines, from mobile game studios to app builders, product teams, and growth operators. The event will bring together local İzmir studios, guests from across Türkiye, and an international audience interested in exploring a new territory and building partnerships in the region.
The summit will take place at Sabancı Kültür Merkezi, in partnership with DEÜ DEPARK, İzmir’s leading teknopark ecosystem partner.
Mobidictum Founder Batuhan Avucan commented:
“In 2022–2023, İzmir played an important role in helping us grow Mobidictum’s brand. We chose the city as an alternative meeting point in Türkiye—an escape location where people could experience something different and connect with local studios. We are happy to bring this back.”

Mobidictum also hosted an İzmir mixer last year, welcoming a record 150+ attendees. This time, the ambition is to scale the summit to 300+ games & apps builders, with a full-day program of 10 sessions focused on practical insights and strong networking density, built for founders, operators, and teams looking to grow, collaborate, and build lasting connections.
The event is free of charge with approval; you can sign up here.
