An exclusive gathering for leaders redefining the entertainment industry

Beyond the Noise

Games Executive Summit

The Games Executive Summit Europe (GESE) is a private forum that unites a trusted network of executives, creators, investors, and policymakers driving the evolution of Europe’s digital entertainment industry. It brings together the people shaping how games, technology, and creative media will define the cultural and economic landscape of the years to come.

GESE is a space for reflection and collaboration, where Europe’s creative and technological minds come together to think beyond immediate challenges and explore long-term opportunities. A place where ideas are tested, alliances are built, and strategies for the future take form through open and meaningful dialogue.

Where strategy unfolds in serenity 

Founded on the conviction that meaningful progress requires time, distance, and perspective, GESE gathers its community once a year for a focused moment of reflection. To step back from the immediacy of business, to examine the transformations shaping our industry, and to imagine the paths ahead.

The dialogue that begins at the annual summit does not end when the meeting closes.  It continues throughout the year, sustained by a community that remains connected, curious, and engaged.

Confidential, candid, and deeply human, these ongoing exchanges are what give GESE its true substance. A living conversation that moves ideas, relationships, and the industry itself forward.

Explore how to engage with the community shaping the next chapter of Europe’s digital entertainment across the different sections of this website.

Following three chapters that have quietly but decisively shaped a new space for long-term thinking in Europe’s creative and technological industries, the Games Executive Summit Europe is preparing its 2026 edition. The forum has grown into a trusted community of leaders committed to reflection, dialogue and collective foresight, and the next gathering will continue to deepen this mission.
 
As GESE evolves, so does its ambition to connect with the places across Europe where culture, creativity and innovation are driving new possibilities. The 2026 edition will be an opportunity to consolidate the vision refined in Tenerife, Nerja and Asturias, and to bring this work into a setting that shares the Summit’s values: a place that understands the importance of nurturing ideas, hosting dialogue and contributing to Europe’s cultural and economic future.
 
While the final location is yet to be announced, GESE is exploring interest from European ecosystems that see in the Summit an opportunity to engage with a network of influential entrepreneurs, creators, investors and policymakers. GESE 2026 represents a chance for a host city or region to align with a project that is already recognised as a unique think tank shaping the future of digital entertainment in Europe.
 
Institutions or ecosystems interested in learning more about hosting the 2026 edition are invited to reach out in confidence. GESE maintains an open, collaborative approach and welcomes conversations with partners who share its long-term vision and commitment to Europe’s creative industries.
 
The next chapter is beginning to take shape. We look forward to discovering where it will unfold.

GESE is invite only. For those interested in participating, we encourage you to connect with a GESE member and ask for a direct recommendation.
