Gamesforum Vietnam 2026, Hanoi

Gamesforum Vietnam 2026 is a one-day conference on mobile game growth organised by Games Forum Ltd, which runs the wider Gamesforum series in London, Barcelona, Hamburg, San Francisco and Cyprus. This is the third Vietnamese edition, and it takes place on Wednesday 25 November 2026 at the JW Marriott Hanoi. The organiser frames it around user acquisition and ad monetization for mobile games, with in-app purchase strategy also covered. The intended audience is UA and monetization staff at mobile game studios and publishers, mostly Vietnamese, plus international guests. Every session is delivered in both English and Vietnamese with live interpretation. The programme is split into three tracks: Monetisation, User Acquisition, and Business & Operations. Badge collection and coffee start at 08:30, and Eventbrite lists the day as running from 8 AM to 7 PM. For this year the organiser has added more ad monetization content, a networking app called Gamesforum Events and longer breaks between sessions. An official after-party begins at 6:00 PM at Nhậu Tự Do on Nguyen Tuan Street in Thanh Xuan. The published agenda includes talks on deterministic puzzle games, Meta Audience Network for publishers, trading short-term ad revenue against retention, a panel on day-to-day ad monetization work, LiveOps built around in-game events, and a closing session on where mobile monetisation is heading. Listed speakers come from studios and ad-tech firms including Supersonic Studios, Nazara, Boombit, Yodo1, CrazyLabs, Tilting Point, TyrAds, TapNation, Unity, BIGO Ads and Meta. Entry is restricted. Free passes go only to Vietnamese mobile game studios and publishers, while studios from abroad need a paid ticket whose price was not shown on the Eventbrite page when this was written. Passes are limited to game publishers and developers: service and solution providers cannot attend as delegates, wrong purchases are cancelled and refunded, and vendors are pointed to the sales team for sponsorship instead. Eventbrite allows refunds until five days before the event. For AffHouse readers the fit is narrow. Media buyers who run app install campaigns will find the UA and ad monetization sessions directly useful. Affiliates, networks and agencies count as service providers under the ticket rules, though, so the practical route in is sponsorship rather than a delegate pass. Gambling, crypto and other affiliate verticals do not appear on the agenda.
