An exclusive gathering for leaders redefining the entertainment industry

Making Sense of Change

Games Executive Summit 2026

Parador de Carmona · Sevilla

October 27 to 30, 2026

The Games Executive Summit Europe (GESE) is a private leadership forum designed to help senior decision makers make sense of the profound transformations reshaping games and interactive entertainment.

Artificial intelligence, new business models, shifting consumer behaviour, evolving platforms, global investment and geopolitical change are redefining our industry at unprecedented speed.

In a world that demands constant execution, making sense of change has become one of leadership’s greatest challenges.

The 2026 edition will take place at the historic Parador de Turismo de Carmona, in the heart of Andalusia. Throughout the summit, participants will also enjoy a series of curated cultural experiences across Seville and Córdoba.

Rooted in Europe and increasingly connected with strategic leaders, investors and innovators from other regions, GESE creates new opportunities for dialogue across ecosystems and explores the future of interactive entertainment from a broader international perspective.

From the timeless heritage of Seville to the rich legacy of Córdoba, discover the spirit of Andalusia through exclusive cultural experiences.

Looking Ahead, GESE 2026

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.
