​This is a curated, high-signal salon during GDC Week designed to connect investors, senior operators, studio leaders, platform builders, and select creators in a relationship-first environment.

​This is a GDC Week satellite event, complementary to the conference and independently produced, built for people who want real conversations, not crowded mixers or pitch-stage theatrics.

## ​Who Should Attend

​Investors

• ​Exploring games and the broader creator / attention economy
• ​Seeking early visibility into disciplined teams and studios with real market fit
• ​Interested in why games are increasingly investable using SaaS-like operating models

​Operators & Builders

• ​Senior studio leaders and platform operators
• ​Founders building scalable, live-ops–driven products
• ​Infrastructure and tooling leaders shaping the ecosystem

​Select Creators

• ​Creators with meaningful audience scale or ecosystem gravity
• ​Those able to speak to the business realities of attention, IP, and durability at scale

​Attendance is intentionally constrained to preserve signal quality.

## ​What Makes This Event Different

​This event is designed around structured dialogue, not performance.
​The evening includes:

• ​A featured executive panel to anchor the room with operator-led insight
• ​A salon-style reception built for real conversation (not crowded networking)
• ​Intentional curation to ensure meaningful alignment between attendees

​Rather than maximizing volume or exposure, the event is designed to function as a live intelligence environment: helping participants compare perspectives, test conviction, and surface where real interest and insight concentrate.
​The panel exists to ground investor understanding of the creator and attention economy in operational reality, using games as the clearest bridge between creative industries and Silicon Valley capital.
