FastSpring is proud to announce our sponsorship of the Live Service Gaming North America Summit, taking place April 29-30, 2025, at the Austin Marriott South. As North America’s only dedicated conference for live service gaming across PC, mobile, and console platforms, this event brings together industry leaders to explore cutting-edge strategies and best practices in the evolving gaming landscape.

We’re particularly excited to have our Head of Gaming, Chip Thurston, featured on a key panel discussion titled “Proven Strategies to Scale D2C Revenue in 2025.” Joining industry experts from Second Dinner and Kabam, Chip will share valuable insights on how gaming studios can maximize their direct-to-consumer revenue streams while delivering exceptional player experiences. Don’t miss this informative session on April 29th at 5:15 pm in Stream B, where you’ll gain actionable strategies to boost your game’s financial performance.

In an exciting collaboration, FastSpring has partnered with Keywords Studios to offer summit attendees the chance to win a DJI Mini Pro 4 drone through the #InfiniteEngagement Grand Prize Giveaway. To enter, participants must attend both Keyword Studios’ session on “Fuelling Fandom: Deep Player Understanding for Lasting Engagement” at 12:15 pm and FastSpring’s panel at 5:15 pm on April 29th.
