Capturing the Essence of the GamesIndustry.biz Summer Party 2026

GamesIndustry.biz recently hosted its annual summer party, a highly anticipated event that brought together the UK's gaming elite on Brighton Pier, coinciding with the Develop: Brighton conference. Sponsored by Renaissance PR and Green Man Gaming, the party took place during the England-Argentina World Cup semi-final, which was screened live, with a separate area for those not interested in the match. Despite the football results not going as hoped, the party was a resounding success, with a sold-out crowd enjoying the sunshine and networking opportunities after a busy day at Develop. We extend our gratitude to all attendees and sponsors for their support. A photo gallery from the evening is available below. The Summer Party and Develop conference will return in 2027, and our next event, the HR Summit, is scheduled for October 1st at the Royal Institution in London, where the Best Places To Work Awards UK will also take place, with entries currently open for UK businesses until August 21st.
