DevGAMM Lisbon 2026 is a business-to-business conference for the games industry and the fourth DevGAMM edition held in Portugal. It brings together developers, publishers, investors and service companies for a programme of talks and workshops, with structured networking powered by the MeetToMatch meeting platform. More than 70 speakers are expected across the two days. The event takes place on 17–18 November 2026 at the Carlos Lopes Pavilion in central Lisbon, with badge pick-up and a VIP and speakers reception on 16 November. Beyond the session tracks, the programme features a game showcase with more than 100 titles, a public pitch competition, the DevGAMM Awards and a closing party, giving independent teams several ways to put their projects in front of industry decision-makers. For studios seeking a publisher, funding or production partners, DevGAMM Lisbon combines learning with a strong focus on meetings and discovery. The mix of practical talks, curated showcase and awards makes it particularly relevant to independent and mid-size developers in Europe. As the European games scene continues to diversify, events like this offer a direct route from a promising prototype to the business relationships needed to ship it.

DevGAMM Lisbon returns on 17–18 November to the Carlos Lopes Pavilion, a tiled 1920s exhibition hall at the edge of Parque Eduardo VII. Game studios, publishers and indie teams meet here for B2B sessions, the showcase and the awards. Lisbon in late November is mild and green after the first autumn rains, with daytime highs in the mid-teens Celsius and fewer tourists, so the hilltop neighbourhoods are pleasant to explore between meetings.
Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) lies only about 7 km from the centre. The red metro line connects the airport to the network, with a change at Alameda or São Sebastião for the blue line toward Parque or Marquês de Pombal, both close to the pavilion; the trip takes around 25–30 minutes. Taxis and rideshares typically take 15–25 minutes. Long-distance trains from Porto arrive at Santa Apolónia and Oriente stations.

Parque Eduardo VII viewpoint. The pavilion sits within this sloping park, whose upper end gives a long view down Avenida da Liberdade to the river. A 20-minute stroll at sunset is an easy break between showcase sessions; the Estufa Fria greenhouse is nearby for a quieter hour.
Alfama and São Jorge Castle. Lisbon's oldest quarter climbs to the Moorish castle above the Baixa. Allow half a day for the castle grounds and the lanes below; tram 28 or a taxi saves the steepest climb, and evenings bring small fado houses to life. Tickets on Tiqets →
Belém. Twenty minutes west by tram 15 or train, Belém holds the Jerónimos Monastery and the riverside Belém Tower. Go early on a free morning, and leave room for a pastel de nata at the historic bakery nearby. Tickets on Tiqets →
How far is the DevGAMM venue from Lisbon airport?
The Carlos Lopes Pavilion is about 15–25 minutes by taxi, or around half an hour by metro with one change.
What is the weather in Lisbon in late November?
Expect mild days in the mid-teens Celsius and a fair chance of rain, so pack a waterproof layer and comfortable shoes for the hills.
Do I need a car in Lisbon?
No. Metro, trams, buses and taxis cover the city, and narrow hilly streets make driving and parking difficult.
