The year, the ever-popular Game Republic Summer Party will take place on 1st July – the eve of one of the UK’s biggest investment conferences Climb 2025 which will see 250+ investors come to Leeds.
The GR Summer Party will be taking place at Carousel Leeds in Leeds city centre on 1st July with arcade games, great food, drink and company from 6-10pm. But this year in addition to the Summer Party, Game Republic is providing a special package exclusively for its members to attend the Summer Party for free and to get a one day heavily discounted pass (£50) to attend Climb 2025 on 2nd July.
The pass will also include access to masterclasses, speaker sessions and a special Game Republic Investment Panel and lunchtime mixer too. The event package is being sponsored by Game Studio Training.
Joining the Game Republic panel will be Spike Laurie from Hiro Capital, Laura Harper from Lewis Silkin, Simon Barratt from Cooperative Innovations, Andy Coley author of Leadership Is A Skill.
Jamie Sefton MD of Game Republic who will be chairing the panel said “We are pleased to be bringing this panel together and highlighting why investors should consider games and how studios can secure investment – and the two days will bring fantastic networking opportunities to our members, from socializing with games on 1st July, to a lunchtime mixer on 2nd July too.”
Climb 25 Organisers have said that “Whether you’re starting out, scaling up, or preparing for a powerful exit, Climb25 is where you need to be.”
The event features five stages with prominent leaders, including Jennifer Byrne (Digital Future Consulting), Kathryn Eastwood (EY Foundation), and Jon Coker (Eka Ventures). Attendees can also participate in 50 masterclasses, investor speed networking, and simulation games.
The event will include:
Five main stages featuring influential leaders and expert voices
60+ hands-on workshops and roundtables sparking real dialogue and actionable insights
A buzzing expo zone – not your typical grab-a-pen-and-go setup, but a space for real interaction, innovation, and connection
250+ high-impact speakers from across a range of different industries
1,800+ startups and scaleups shaping the future
3,000+ delegates coming together to connect, collaborate, and grow
