|---|---|---|
| Sessions and workshops | November 17 | 10:00-18:00 |
| Sessions and workshops | November 18 | 10:00-17:00 |

The second question is who you want to meet and why. Write down the companies or roles first, then send your requests on the platform.
An INDIE DEV pass lets you receive requests but not send them. Check the platform for new requests in the weeks before the conference.

The Business Lounge is included with BUSINESS and VIP tickets. At Gdańsk 2026, eGamesLab sponsored the lounge, and it gave attendees a dedicated space for meetings.
06.How many meetings do attendees schedule?
