App Growth Summit Istanbul 2027

About the event

App Growth Summit Istanbul is the Istanbul stop of the App Growth Summit conference series, a one-day, invite-only event for people who work on mobile app growth. The organizer limits the number of vendors and curates the guest list, so the room is mostly practitioners rather than sales booths. Content is in English.

The 2027 edition is described as having more than 12 expert-led sessions with over 35 speakers from mobile apps, gaming, marketing and product. Topics named on the event page include user acquisition, creative strategy, ASO and AEO, retention, monetization, AI and product. The organizer says attendees can meet 250+ experts from Istanbul and abroad, and the day includes food and a social element typical of the series.

The event is aimed at growth, marketing, product and monetization professionals at app and game companies. The sources do not mention app buyers, acquirers or investors, and they do not describe matchmaking or pitch sessions. It is therefore mainly a learning and networking event for growth teams, not a venue built for M&A or fundraising deals, although conversations with other app operators can still be useful for founders who want to understand how peers acquire and monetize users.

Attendance is by request: you apply for an invite through the event page. The venue had not been announced when the page was checked.

Who should attend

Best for growth, UA, creative, ASO, retention and monetization specialists at app and game companies, and for founders who want to see how other operators run growth. Expect talks and peer conversations rather than deal-making.

Tips: if you plan to sell an app, bring a short summary of your key metrics such as retention and revenue per user, and ask peers which acquisition channels have held up over time. Request the invite early, since entry is curated.
