Pakistan’s gaming sector is preparing for a unique opportunity to bring its leadership together at an exclusive C-Level networking meetup, organized by Game District, Aream & Co., and Metica. Scheduled for September 25, 2025, the event will serve as a platform for CEOs, CMOs, CFOs, founders, and other senior leaders from the gaming ecosystem to explore industry growth and investment opportunities. Designed as a closed-door, invitation-only gathering, the meetup aims to create meaningful conversations around the future of the gaming industry and the potential role Pakistan can play in shaping it on both a regional and global level.
The agenda includes carefully curated sessions that focus on some of the most pressing themes in gaming and its related industries. Phil Mohr, CEO of Metica, will lead a discussion on how his company envisions unlocking the potential of Pakistan’s gaming market and what strategies can be deployed to position the country as a significant player in the sector. His insights are expected to cover both the creative and commercial aspects of gaming, from fostering talent to scaling up production and distribution in international markets. The session highlights the growing confidence of global players in Pakistan’s ability to contribute meaningfully to the global gaming economy.
In another major highlight, Affan Butt, founding partner at Aream & Co., will share perspectives on the role of gaming-focused investment banking, with a particular emphasis on mergers and acquisitions. His session will introduce attendees to the financial structuring and strategic partnerships that drive growth in the global gaming sector. By connecting this expertise with Pakistan’s emerging talent pool, Butt’s session is anticipated to provide a roadmap for how local companies can leverage financial instruments to scale operations, attract global investors, and build sustainable business models within the fast-changing gaming ecosystem.
The event will be hosted by Saad Hameed, CEO of Game District, who has long been an advocate of creating platforms where the local gaming community can engage with international stakeholders. Under his leadership, Game District has grown into one of the country’s prominent gaming studios, and through this initiative, the company continues to foster collaboration and industry dialogue. By restricting participation to C-Level executives, the organizers intend to ensure that the conversations remain strategic and focused on decision-making that can influence the trajectory of the industry.
Limited seats are available for this exclusive gathering, and registration details have been shared through a dedicated link for interested participants. Venue information will be disclosed to confirmed registrants to maintain the exclusivity of the meetup. With a strong lineup of speakers and a focus on high-level engagement, the Pakistan Game Industry networking meetup represents an important step toward building stronger industry linkages and enhancing Pakistan’s position in the global gaming value chain.
