GamesIndustry.biz Summer Party 2026

In partnership with our co-hosts Renaissance and Green Man Gaming, the GamesIndustry.biz Summer Party returns for another year at Develop Brighton this July!

Featuring good vibes, great networking, free food and some free drinks. The Brighton seafront is the perfect place to enjoy a drink, unwind late into the night, and meet games industry friends old and new.

Two Free Drinks

Each ticket includes two free drinks, with fish and chips available to attendees, too.

We have a 7pm start at our seafront venue at the end of Brighton's famous Palace Pier, and we'll go on until just before midnight.

So, you can come early and enjoy the early evening summer sun and sea views, or arrive a bit later after one of the other events taking place at Develop Brighton.

Our venue is the same as last year. We are at Horatio's, the fully refurbished pier bar, where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the amazing views and great company!

Ticket-only Entry

To make sure everyone has space to enjoy this popular evening, entry is by ticket only.

This means you'll be able to get to the bar faster and have some room to mingle with guests - which is ultimately what it's all about.

We have made available a limited allocation of tickets for purchase here through Eventbrite to guarantee your entry. Once we have sold out of tickets here, you may still be able to get a ticket from one of our wonderful sponsors who are co-hosting the event - each has their own allocation.

To avoid confusion on the night, please remember that we are separate from the Develop Conference and Develop Awards, so a ticket for either of those lovely events does not allow entry to our party. Thanks for your understanding!
