may be done, but the journey continues.

This year, we saw gaming, XR, animation, and VFX represented further and wider than ever before, with voices in rooms that matter – forging connections and telling local stories that deserve to be heard on a global stage.

A few highlights we'll be thinking about for a while:

⭐Our first and flagship panel on Centre Stage: “How to Build a Creative Tech Hub” featuring Michelle Grady, President of Sony Imageworks; Nick Cannon, SVP Production at Walt Disney Animation Studios; and Jennifer McCarron, President, Blue Ant Studios.

⭐The unveiling of the new CanAsia Game Summit for next year’s Web Summit, bringing together industry leaders, studios, investors, and partners from across North America and Asia.

⭐The “Game Over Continue?” panel with Ray Muzyka, co-founder of Bioware (EA) and Jesse Houston and Jeanne-Marie Owens, co-founders of Phoenix Labs and Critical Path Games; moderated by Victor Lucas – so insightful and engaging! 🙌

To every studio, founder, speaker and partner who was part of this: thank you.

To the Province of British Columbia, whose support makes this possible: thank you. 🙏

We're well into our three-year journey with Web Summit, and the momentum is real. Year three, we're coming for you!
