Mark Watt, the president of Renatus Media, LLC, welcomed DevGAMM guests, "This year Renatus became the main organizer of this great conference, which was previously known as FlashGamm. It is already widely recognized as a leading social and mobile gaming conference in Eastern Europe.

We are confident that DevGAMM will continue to provide you with great gaming insights and best practices.

ValeriyaMallayeva, DevGAMM's managing director, pointed out another achievement: 145 games were submitted for the Game Contest, compared to a maximum of 100 at previous events! As a result, 23 awesome titles mostly created by 'indie' game developers were nominated for awards.
A totally new event section GAMM:Play was introduced at DevGAMM Kiev 2013. It provided developers with an opportunity to showcase their games in the exhibition zone and get live feedback from visitors. This new special format received very positive comments from both developers and publishers.

"There's a Vacancy Wall at DevGAMM behind my back now. Сool thing!" Eugene Yailenko from Zeptolab commented. "Two years ago I noticed a call for game designers from Zeptolab here. I shot them a message, and that's how I got my current job".
