There will be plenty of time to hang out with your peers from top studios, including at one of our famous Online Services Houses on a beachfront rooftop in Santa Monica (Oct. 15, 6PM). Also, coffee breaks, wrap-up happy hour and small group dinners. Oh, and you'll get an impressive bag of swag!
The Summit is made possible by these awesome partners:
We’re a bunch of backend engineers that helped scale massive games like League of Legends, Destiny 2, and Plants vs Zombies 2. We’ve built the Backend Game Engine that powers features like cross-platform accounts, matchmaking, and player data (achievements, quests, battle passes, monetization, etc.). The Pragma Backend Game Engine is the only truly extensible backend solution.
