This week at LA Tech Week 2025, Xsolla joins forces with Tencent and Wilson Sonsini to support the 1AM Gaming Summit — an exclusive event connecting gaming founders, investors, and publishers across Los Angeles’ dynamic tech ecosystem.
Hosted by 1AM Gaming at Survios Headquarters in Marina del Rey, the private, invite-only summit brings together leading voices from across the interactive entertainment industry. Together, participants are exploring the future of game funding, innovation in development, and the ongoing convergence between gaming and broader technology sectors.
“Partnering with 1AM Gaming, Tencent, and Wilson Sonsini for this event reinforces Xsolla’s commitment to supporting the creators shaping the next era of games,” says Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla.. “This summit isn’t just about networking; it’s about creating access and alignment across the gaming ecosystem.”
Celebrating innovation and connection at LA Tech Week
The 1AM Gaming Summit stands out as a highlight of LA Tech Week, a citywide celebration of innovation hosted by venture firms and startups across Los Angeles. For Xsolla, the event underscores its continued commitment to fostering connection, collaboration, and opportunity for creators. Earlier this week, Xsolla hosted its own Game Developer Lunch & Learn: Scaling, Discovery, and the Future of Play, a midday gathering that brings developers, publishers, and industry professionals together for meaningful conversation and insight. The event features two thought-provoking sessions:- Beyond the Game: Turning Devs into Global Entrepreneurs – exploring how studios can expand internationally, diversify business models, and achieve long-term sustainability.
- Next-Gen Discovery: How Players Find Games Today – examining how developers can connect with players in an evolving, privacy-first, and data-driven landscape.
Building bridges for the next generation of creators
“We believe the best games start with bold ideas and the right support system,” adds Hewish. “Events like this provide the foundation for those connections to grow into the next generation of studios and experiences.” From indie teams seeking funding to established studios exploring new technologies, the summit embodies Xsolla’s mission to unite the global gaming community and strengthen the creative and commercial ecosystem for everyone involved.Gaming at the heart of LA Tech Week
The 1AM Gaming Summit is one of several standout gatherings taking place during LA Tech Week 2025, which showcases industries such as gaming, AI, and media. By supporting this event, Xsolla continues to play a pivotal role in amplifying the importance of gaming as a driver of innovation, creativity, and economic growth in Los Angeles and beyond.Featured articles
