Xsolla & Futura Xmas Night: A Gamedev Community Evening in Dubai

On December 10, we hosted Xsolla & Futura Xmas Night in Dubai — an evening we wanted to feel warm and alive, and it did. A room full of familiar faces, conversations, and stories: exactly what these gatherings are for. We were genuinely glad to see everyone.

Our special thanks go to the speakers — for the courage to step on stage, for their openness, and for sharing personal experience. The applause from the room, the live reactions, and the warm atmosphere made the conversation especially valuable. Our heartfelt thanks to:

• Pavel Tokarev, CEO & Founder, Inlingo
• Vlad Belyanin, Founder, True Gamers
• Salah Sivushkov, Chief Business Development Officer, Axlebolt
• Alexey Kabanov, BD Lead, Chill Base

You set the mood for the whole evening. Thanks to you, the dialogue was easy, genuine, and gently, warmly ironic. And together with our host, Evgeny from BEsmart, it felt less like an event and more like a warm gathering of old friends.

A special thank-you to Xsolla — for the trust, and for building this together. Evenings like this come together when partners look in the same direction and want to create something real.

For us, Xmas Night is part of a larger effort to grow the gamedev community here in the Emirates. Next year will bring more meetups, online and offline. Stay tuned — we'll be sure to invite you.
