GameDev Summit is organized with the support of the Philippines Department of Trade and Industry. A landmark global industry event in the heart of the Asia Pacific, GDS features the External Development Summit (XDS) Main Stage of prominent speakers and panelists and is in collaboration with the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP).

This professionals-only B2B event is focused on strengthening the Asia Pacific industry's position and partnerships with the greater global video game development community.

GDS acknowledges two sides of the industry - external development and indie game development and hosts two tracks to address each space's different requirements and solutions. The summit offers the opportunity to attend one or both, providing a broader perspective on the possibilities available to studios, professionals, and advocates in the exciting world of game development.
