The Thriving in Games Group Summit is a first-of-its-kind gathering for people working to build safer, more thoughtful games. Bringing together practitioners from game design, research, player safety, and related fields, the summit is designed for the people shaping player experiences and communities for millions of players around the world.

Held at Supercell HQ in Helsinki from September 16–18, 2026, the summit begins with an informal welcome gathering, followed by two days of talks, discussions, and hands-on workshops. The program is intentionally small, with plenty of time built in for meaningful conversations, networking, and collaboration. Attendance is limited and requires registration and approval. Once your registration has been approved, you will receive an invoice for the ticket fee – your place at the summit is confirmed once the invoice has been paid. I
