Fostering Leadership in External Development
XDS Ignite is a specialized, focused edition of XDS, designed exclusively for Developers and Publishers who are directly involved in the management and decision-making of external development within their teams or studios.
Ignite creates space for candid conversations, shared learning, and practical discussion around real-world challenges in external development. The goal is simple: help teams make better decisions, build stronger partnerships, and move projects forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Unlike the broader XDS experience, XDS Ignite is intentionally curated and limited in size. This ensures a highly relevant audience, meaningful dialogue, and the kind of peer-to-peer exchange that drives real impact.
What to Expect
The XDS Ignite program offers a dynamic blend of:
- Curated presentations and expert-led panels
- Interactive table-topic discussions focused on real challenges
- Collaborative sessions designed to exchange practical insights
- Hosted networking moments and social mixers
Every element is built to encourage participation, not just observation — creating an environment where ideas are tested, perspectives are shared, and conversations continue beyond the room.
A Community of Decision-Makers
XDS Ignite brings together a highly targeted group of industry professionals who are actively shaping how external development is approached within their organizations.
This is not a passive conference — it’s a working session for the people driving strategy, partnerships, and execution.
