Room 8 Group is heading back to Vancouver for the External Development Summit (XDS) 2026, taking place September 8–11. This will be our fourth year in a row at XDS, one of the key industry events focused specifically on external development in games.

This year also marks 15 years in the game for Room 8 Group. Over that time, we’ve supported hundreds of games across game development, art, technology, trailers and cinematics, and QA — working with partners at different stages of production and across projects of different scales.

In Vancouver, our team will be catching up with partners, connecting with studios, and talking through the production challenges and opportunities shaping upcoming projects.

Joining Room 8 Group at XDS:

Julien Proux, Chief Content Officer
Guillaume Carmona, VP of Game Development
Alexander Fletcher, VP of Sales
Elena Natsvlishvili, VP of Art
Dmytro Koval, Executive Art Director
Nick Garneau, QA Division Director
Anna Berdnyk, Acting Head of Business Development
Andrew Dutra, Senior Program Management Director
Inna Pendyur, Senior Business Development Director
Mitchell Miller, Business Development Director

Whether you’re looking to add capacity, solve a specific production challenge, or bring different areas of expertise together around one project, come talk to us at XDS.
