Mobidictum Conference 2026: Istanbul becomes the center of the gaming industry

On 7 and 8 October 2026, Istanbul will host a new edition of the Mobidictum Conference, one of the most important events for the gaming and mobile industry in Eurasia. The event will be held at the prestigious Lütfi Kırdar International Convention and Exhibition Center, a location overlooking the Golden Horn that will bring together technology, business, and entertainment in an international context.

For 2026, Mobidictum is aiming even higher with its largest edition ever: over 2,500 participants expected from more than 65 countries, three thematic stages, and an entire area dedicated to PC gaming and indie culture.

The three stages

The conference will be organized around three main stages, designed to cover the different souls of the digital market:

• Red Stage: business, publishing, investments and venture capital

• Black Stage: focus on the global mobile gaming market

• White Stage: new area dedicated to the world of apps and the mobile economy

This latter represents one of the main novelties of the 2026 edition and demonstrates Mobidictum's desire to broaden its focus beyond traditional gaming.

Indie and PC gaming area

For the first time, the event will introduce an entire floor dedicated to PC gaming and the enthusiast community. The area will include an expanded Indie Spot with approximately 50 independent studios, technical workshops and dedicated showcases.

There will also be an Open Stage for live presentations, a board game area, live cosplay sessions and activities designed for the PC enthusiast public.

Events and networking

In addition to the panels and speeches, the Mobidictum Conference 2026 will offer several networking events, including:

• Executive Mixer – October 6

• Main Party – October 7

• Indie Award Show – October 8

Registration is already open and the organizers have announced an Early Bird promotion with a 15% discount available for a limited time.
