gamescom dev CTO lunch

An invitation-only lunch for CTOs and technical leaders, powered by Simplygon & EPAM.

The gamescom dev CTO lunch brings together a small group of CTOs and senior technical leaders from the games industry for focused peer exchange over lunch.

Hosted at The ASH Köln MesseCity, directly across from the gamescom dev conference grounds, the lunch welcomes up to 70 invited guests for conversations around the technology, production, and leadership challenges shaping their teams and businesses.

With a deliberately small group and a relaxed setting, the CTO lunch is an opportunity to compare experiences, exchange perspectives, and connect with peers facing many of the same technical and organizational questions.

Access is by invitation only.
