The LSGSummit Is Back!
Live service games, and the industry in general, have seen some notable successes but have also been struggling with a volatile, oversaturated market and therefore, seen an increase in layoffs and budget cuts.
To keep themselves and their games alive, studios are looking to run their teams more efficiently and ensure they are collecting quality player data in real time that enables them to develop cross-department strategies that all prioritise player acquisition, engagement, and retention.
The Live Service Gaming Summit has filled a gaping hole in the event space within the game industry since 2024.
As the only independently led, intimate, and closed-door event specifically targeted at live service gaming, this event brings together studio leaders focused on everything from game design to development and performance optimisation and monetisation strategy.

What's New in 2026? This year’s summit offers a dedicated space for attendees to explore the major technological, operational, and player‑experience shifts shaping live service gaming in 2026.
Data, Data, Data
Prioritising not only a studio’s ability to process petabytes and terabytes of data each day, but to ensure quality data is being used throughout the business, given its impact on internal, external, and player operations.
Designing What Players Actually Wants
Leveraging A/B testing, early access metrics, prototyping, player testing and player feedback to keep up with trends and in-game features that keep players engaged.
Stronger Launches Through Cross‑Team Alignment
Keeping teams agile while ensuring clear cross-team communication when locking down pre, launch, and post-launch strategies that account for game success.
Happy Team, Better Games
Ensuring studios of all sizes consider their employees’ health to manage burnout and higher than normal turn over, especially as resources dwindle.

The atmosphere is refreshingly collaborative,with candid discussions and real insights that you don’t always get at other events. It’s a rare space where people at all levels of experience contribute freely, making it inspiring for anyone working in live service games.’
This conference is the most directed and fundamentally useful conference in the games industry. Every one of us there is an expert in our field, and we share both our knowledge and opinions in order to make it deeply valuable as a learning and networking event. This is also one of the best-run conferences I’ve ever seen, and the IQPC team is top-notch.’
‘Great to see a conference laser-focused on Live Service and GaaS. We don’t share and talk much across this industry when it comes to successful strategies and general approaches beyond super tech-specific areas. This event offered a lot of learnings, inspiration, and a fantastic opportunity to meet industry professionals working on similar challenges and problems!’

It was truly an honour to be in a room with such great minds!’
I hate conferences. This one feels more like a meetup of like- minded, passionate professionals, willing to share their experiences, honest insights, and stories. Not a horde of randoms and sponsors. From this Summit is both a healing and an inspiring experience, inside the Liveops “niche”.’
‘Perfect for your product/ project owner who runs or plans running live ops.’
‘Being invited to the LiveOps Summit was an incredible opportunity. From the very beginning, I knew I had to attend— there’s truly no other place where you can connect with so many passionate professionals, all focused on improving games and shaping the future of LiveOps.’
‘The Live Service Gaming Summit / Games Publishing and Marketing Summit provided incredible opportunities to learn from industry experts, understand how other companies approach industry-shared problems and due to the number of the attendees, allowed for 1:1 conversations to dive deeper into panels, presentations with speakers or simply meet and learn from other members in the industry during networking breaks.’
‘The event was well-organized and very intense. The ability to talk to folks directly involved in LiveOps was invaluable.’
‘The LSG Summit was a great opportunity to get different points of view on the current state of live games, and the possible ways it can evolve in the years to come.’
