App Growth Summit Los Angeles 2027

About the event

App Growth Summit Los Angeles is the Southern California stop of the App Growth Summit series, which runs single-day, in-person conferences for mobile app growth teams in several cities. Access is by invitation, the number of vendors is limited, and service providers can take part only as sponsors, so most attendees work at app companies, games or consumer brands rather than selling to them. The organizer held an LA edition in 2026, and the 2027 edition is set for Thursday, February 25 at Playa Studios.

The program fills a full day with more than twelve sessions and over 35 speakers from app and brand teams. Topics announced for 2027 include user acquisition, creative, retention, engagement, monetization, product, measurement and AI. The organizer aims the content at experienced practitioners rather than beginners, and the event is not streamed. Tickets are free for people who work at a mobile app, game or consumer brand.

For app founders this is mainly a learning and peer networking event. The organizer expects a curated crowd of more than 200 people, which makes conversations easy, but the site does not mention investors, acquirers or M&A sessions. It is a good place to compare growth and monetization tactics with other app teams in the region, not a venue built for selling an app.

Who should attend

Suited to growth, user acquisition, product and monetization leads at app publishers, game studios and consumer brands, and to founders who run growth themselves. They get current case material from practitioners and a small, vendor-light room for meeting peers on the US West Coast.

Tips: request your invite early, because places are limited. If you plan to sell your app later, use the day to learn how peers report retention and revenue, and bring a few current metrics you can discuss comfortably.
