Following its successful 2024 edition, which drew over 1,300 attendees, the Dubai GameExpo Summit powered by Pocket Gamer Connects returned on May 7–8, 2025, alongside the Dubai Esports and Games Festival at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Co-organised with the Dubai Economy and Tourism department (DET), the summit once again positioned Dubai as a central meeting point for the global games industry, reflecting the region’s rapid emergence as one of the fastest-growing markets worldwide.

The two-day conference brought together over 70 leading industry speakers from across the globe, offering an extensive programme of talks, panels, and seminars. The event also provided unparalleled networking opportunities, connecting attendees from every part of the industry, from indie studios and established publishers to tech innovators and investors.
