Hello GDCy People,

GDCy Executive Lounge 2025 took place on October 3rd at the beautiful Dafermou Winery in Pano Lefkara — a refined, off-the-city setting that set the tone for focused conversations and high-level networking. The day opened with a welcome reception and an official kick-off, followed by a keynote from Xsolla and a curated agenda built around what’s next for our industry.

Throughout the afternoon, guests joined roundtables on WebShops & 3rd-party stores, marketing trends for 2026, NSFW & adult gaming ecosystem, AI in development, platform deals, and finance/infrastructure for 2026. We also hosted an interactive legal session, “Epic vs. Apple: The Legal Play Simulator,” plus wine cellar tastings, lounge networking, and an evening hookah session with live music — exactly the balance of insight and atmosphere the Lounge is known for.

Huge thanks to our partners Xsolla and Mellow and speakers for elevating the experience and to everyone who joined us for a day of meaningful connections in the heart of Cyprus wine country.

We can’t wait to welcome you back at the next Executive Lounge — and at all things GDCy.
