This is the third time I come as it is the third year and each year it is getting better and better. There is more participants, there is more exhibitors and B2B section is getting much busier. So, it is really really excellent.

I met Meriç and Cevher, the organizers of this wonderful shindig here, few years ago at Gamescom. He said ” Hey, why don’t you check out the conference?” and I was like ” Really? İstanbul. It is so exotic”. You know, I have never been anywhere like this. Two years ago, I came out and gave a talk on ” mall Teams: Bootstrapping Project”. This was just a great experience. o, I am really happy to come back and contribute somehow.

B2B develops step by step as the people know about it. I was pleased with time that I spent here. And also, I was busy, I mean we didn’t loaf around. o, it is good. If I compare with B2B events in Europe a bit, this place is more comfortable and people can sit and have a conversation together in the area. Generally, the foreign countries don’t offer a business opportunity as GIST does.

Every year, it is going better. Every year, it is more crowded than the previous one. Every year, it is bigger than the previous one and especially, we see the oversea gaming companies’ reputation in Turkey becomes stronger via Gaming İstanbul. For example, it is a great thing for us to see the world’s giant gaming company Ubisoft’s booth here.

Firstly, I’m thankful to the organizers because it is an opportunity. Above all, it is an opportunity for coming together with the players. I believe that it maintains a certain standard in terms of quality. So, as NVIDIA, I can say that the world’s biggest companies such as HP and Blizzard participation is an indication of it.
