Istanbul Mobile App Growth & Marketing Meetup
How mobile apps can actually grow in 2026 — a free event in Istanbul packed with real cases and exclusive tips by the best experts in the industry.
🌟 Merhaba, Istanbul!
On 13 May four teams who combine ones of the deepest expertises of the industry unite to share all their expertise about winning growth tactics in UA, creatives, performance marketing and web funnels.
We're all tired of general talks wasting time - that's why we bring you hands-on frameworks and tips you can apply in your work tomorrow.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Two hours of real insider tips. Then great food, drinks and plenty of communication with every speaker — the one that doesn't exist on a conference floor.
For whom: founders, growth & UA leads, performance marketers, creative and monetization teams at subscription apps and mobile games.
📍 We’ll meet in a new modern office of our dear partner and co-host of the event, HubX, easy-to-reach in Maslak.
