Hosted by 1AM Gaming, the private, invite-only summit takes place at Survios Headquarters in Marina del Rey, bringing together leading voices from across the interactive entertainment ecosystem for an evening of thought leadership and partnership-building. Discussions focus on the future of game funding, innovation in development, and the growing convergence between gaming and broader technology sectors.

The event serves as a key moment during LA Tech Week, highlighting the importance of gaming within Los Angeles’ vibrant startup and innovation community.

“Partnering with 1AM Gaming, Tencent, and Wilson Sonsini for this event reinforces Xsolla’s commitment to supporting the creators shaping the next era of games,” said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. “This summit isn’t just about networking; it’s about creating access and alignment across the gaming ecosystem.”

Xsolla also hosts the Game Developer Lunch & Learn: Scaling, Discovery, and the Future of Play, a midday gathering that brings developers, publishers, and industry professionals together for two insightful discussions:

• Beyond the Game: Turning Devs into Global Entrepreneurs – exploring how studios expand globally, diversify business models, and build long-term sustainability.
• Next-Gen Discovery: How Players Find Games Today – examining strategies for connecting with audiences in a privacy-first, data-driven world.

Both events reflect Xsolla’s ongoing mission to help developers and studios worldwide build resilient businesses and meaningful relationships across the industry.

“We believe the best games start with bold ideas and the right support system,” Hewish added. “Events like this provide the foundation for those connections to grow into the next generation of studios and experiences.”

The 1AM Gaming Summit stands out among the many gatherings during LA Tech Week, a decentralized celebration of innovation hosted by venture firms and startups across Los Angeles, covering industries such as gaming, AI, and media.
