Working with the Metaplay team on GMM was a genuine pleasure. Their attention to every little detail made each event feel special and effortless.

As both a co-host and guest, I enjoyed great conversations with exactly the right crowd - friendly faces, lively discussions, and great networking. The vibe was always spot-on - from the branded cocktails to the delicious light bites. It's truly one of the best industry after-hours events around - can't wait for the next one!

For Sandsoft, co-hosting the Game Makers Mixer with Metaplay in May and August 2024 was a great experience.

The collaboration was smooth, the energy was high, and the atmosphere was genuinely welcoming.

Both events brought together the right people, encouraged meaningful conversations, and maintained a relaxed, engaging, and inspiring vibe throughout.
