Join industry legend Keiji Inafune as he takes the stage in the Philippines for the first time. Having spoken across the United States, France, China, Korea, and many other countries, Inafune brings global insight into how games have evolved into a universally embraced creative industry—and why forging new international connections is more essential than ever. With decades of experience creating iconic titles and driving the development of original IP, he reflects on the recent slowdown in new IP creation—even within Japan—and the urgent need to reignite the industry’s creative energy. In this session, Inafune shares the lessons, inspirations, and creative philosophies he has cultivated in Japan, empowering developers from any country to spark innovation. He invites attendees from around the world to feel his passion, rethink what’s possible, and collaborate in shaping the next generation of global IP. Let’s create the future of games together.
