What is DevGAMM?
DevGAMM is an international B2B games industry conference series built around high-value access to the people doing business in games. Across its international events, DevGAMM brings together founders, senior decision-makers and industry thought leaders alongside developers and studio leaders, publishers, investors, platforms, co-development and service companies, and teams working across game technology, infrastructure and AI.
Founded in 2008, DevGAMM has hosted 55+ events across 10 countries and welcomed over 45,000 attendees. Across its conferences, the series has facilitated 27,000+ business meetings. Lisbon 2026 is its fourth Portuguese edition.
The Lisbon programme combines talks and workshops with business meetings, roundtables, game presentations, pitching opportunities and the DevGAMM Awards.

Why we're sponsoring DevGAMM Lisbon
We've attended DevGAMM several times and enjoyed it. We recommend it for the B2B access: meeting founders and senior decision-makers, building partnerships and creating commercial opportunities.
DevGAMM brings founders and senior decision-makers together with platforms, co-development partners, service providers, and teams across technology, infrastructure and AI. Structured meetings, roundtables and networking connect people who influence what gets built, funded, published, bought and adopted.
DevGAMM's B2B focus is why CiteSurge is sponsoring Lisbon. We also work with DevGAMM on AI visibility, helping prospective attendees discover its events and understand the business opportunities they offer.
