We are Game Access. Every year, we unite thousands of creatives from all over the world. This year we're creating a space to for mobile developers to network, learn and showcase their work.
We would be honored if you would join us!
Is this the Forum for you?
The Mobile GameDev Forum brings together current and potential mobile developers, as well as publishers, investors and all of those interested in the latest trends and developments in the mobile scene. Those interested in AI or Legal topics might also benefit from the Temple of Law and Future Tech Summits.
What value will you gain?
Here you'll find expert insight into design challenges and successes, tools, software, methodologies and all magic behind development as such. Hand in hand with it we'll discuss monetization models and strategies, how to find new audiences, comply with regulations, and get the most out of webstores.
Why should you attend?
Because you want to meet other mobile developers, learn from the stars of the industry, share experiences with your peers, and see the latest from key companies. Join the Forum, make connections, get inspired and grow.

How to create lasting engagement
I will talk about practical experiences from developing free-to-play games and building a strong community.
The presentation focuses on player motivators, the importance of listening to the community, collaboration between designers and community managers, and using data to create meaningful events.
I will show that the key to retention is the joy of the game, the constellation of the right approaches, and the willingness to learn from players — but also knowing when to (not) listen.

Beyond Tutorials - How Players Develop Competitive Gaming Skills and What can we do to Support them?
Players usually have a strong aspiration to improve their gaming skills, a desire which has been further reinforced by the increase of multiplayer games and the rise of competitive gaming. Learning to play can be guided by the game itself (e.g., via tutorials) but can also be largely self-regulated with players setting their own performance goals and by the social ecosystems surrounding games. However, self-regulated learning can be influenced by self-efficacy beliefs. This panel discusses different strategies players follow to improve their skills as well as high-level characteristics of how learning and self-efficacy manifests in different competitive genres. These can serve as useful guideposts for those interested in implementing teaching practices, systems, and tools for learning to play in- and outside of competitive games.

Unique F2P monetization strategies
As the free-to-play (F2P) market evolves, traditional monetization strategies like in-app purchases and ads are no longer enough to stand out. This session dives into unique and innovative monetization approaches that push the boundaries of what’s possible in F2P games. From ads integrated into the game world to Web3 technologies like NFTs and blockchain, brand partnerships, audio ads, and more, we’ll explore creative pathways to unlock new revenue streams. Drawing from my extensive experience in F2P game production, I’ll share practical insights, real-world examples, and my personal opinions on these strategies' effectiveness.

Mastering Onboarding in Mobile Games
Onboarding and first-time user experience is the "make it or break it" moment. If onboarding fails, the new player is immediately lost. With rising costs for acquisition, you can't afford to slack the early gameplay moments. Now you need more than ever to deliver the experience that will make your new players come back.
In this talk, we will talk about "all things onboarding". How to improve the early minutes of your gameplay with takeaways that will help you build a solid foundation for understanding this topic.
