About the event
LA Games Conference is a one-day business, law and finance summit held in Los Angeles for the games and interactive entertainment industry. It is owned and produced by Digital Media Wire. The format is a single day of presentations, panels and keynotes, with lunch and a reception and time set aside for meetings with other attendees. The organizer states that games industry experience is required.
The agenda runs in two tracks: Business and Finance, and Legal, Policy and Regulation. Recent sessions covered who is funding games and interactive media, new financing structures such as revenue-based financing and UA funds, what makes a studio investable, M&A strategy and the effect of AI on studio models and licensing. Mobile is listed among the topics.
Attendees named on the site are company founders, executives, in-house and outside counsel, dealmakers, investment bankers and corporate development executives. Past speakers include investors from venture and growth funds, bankers and corporate development leads at game publishers. The event describes itself as a setting for networking, meetings and deal-making.
For app founders it is most relevant if you run a mobile game or a games-adjacent app and want to meet investors, advisors and corporate development people. It is not an app-store growth or ASO event, and it is not focused on subscription apps. Treat it as a finance and deal-oriented networking day rather than a hands-on growth conference.
Official website (opens in a new tab)Who should attend
Suited to founders and executives of mobile game studios and games-adjacent apps who are considering a sale, a financing round or a publishing deal, as well as lawyers, bankers and corporate development staff in the sector. You get panels on funding and M&A and a day of networking with investors and dealmakers.
Tips: before the day, prepare a short summary of your revenue, retention and ownership structure, and pick a few speakers from funds or corporate development teams to approach during breaks. Check the agenda in advance to plan which sessions to attend.
