Let's start off in style! App Growth Summits are the way events should be done: Custom-curated sessions, original content, limited vendors, and engaged networking, all combined with some fun and good times!
Learn about the "Three Funnel Framework" that achieved millions of downloads without a massive UA budget. In this talk from CEO & Co-Founder Tim Yelchaninov hear how True Finance built its acquisition strategy, while decreasing cost to acquire paying customers and improve LTV at the same time! Tim will discuss: (1) Revealing Top UA Sources; (2) How to Engage Users Post Download; (3) and LTV.
Most Apple Ads strategies focus on short-term optimization. But sustainable growth comes from something else: structure, data clarity, and disciplined execution. In this session, Viktor Orlov, CEO of Asapty, will break down the principles behind scalable Apple Ads performance. The talk covers campaign architecture, the role of SKAG structures, how to use real signals like Impression Share and IPM, and why most optimization approaches fail to scale. Instead of chasing “growth hacks,” this session shows how to build Apple Ads systems that deliver predictable growth over time.
CTV has moved well past being a digital version of traditional TV advertising, but buying it effectively still requires marketers to understand a very different ecosystem. This fireside chat explores how CTV inventory moves through programmatic channels, what buyers should understand before adding it to their media mix, and how performance should actually be measured. We’ll also look at how live streaming and podcasting are changing where audiences spend their time, and what those shifts could mean for the next generation of digital media buying.
Sustainable product growth rarely comes from a single experiment or clever tactic. It comes from continuously uncovering how users behave, identifying opportunities, testing ideas, and turning what works into repeatable growth mechanisms. This session explores the principles behind Product-Led Growth, how to generate better insights, and how experimentation can uncover opportunities that compound over time.
Speaker to be announced soon!
Taking a break for some networking, personal break needs, or just to stretch out a little, we'll offer some light power snacks (courtesy of Coda) to keep your energy high, refill the coffee, and then get right back into the sessions!
Morning Break courtesy of:
Discovery used to happen where marketers could see it: search, app stores, the feed. Now it happens inside conversations brands don't own, and old playbooks built on segments and static campaigns don't hold up. This session looks at what's replacing them: real-time context, next-best-action, and a shift from manual campaigns to autonomous decisioning, backed by benchmarks and real results across e-commerce, BFSI, telecom and travel.
What do you do when you don’t have the resources to dedicate a massive team to creative production and testing? Hear how a one-person team managed the full creative cycle for a casual solitaire title in soft launch: developing hypotheses, directing agencies, designing testing methodologies, setting up ad campaigns, analyzing results, and determining next steps. Drawing on insights from the production and testing of 200+ creatives, this session explores the growing pains, successes, failures, and frameworks used to translate results into better creative.
Let's take a big break for food at the half-way point of the day's content. We'll provide you with a tasty catered lunch, (courtesy of RevX) (dietary restrictions will be respected, please contact us with your specific requirements). Our friendly staff will also refill the coffee so you can fuel up, network more, and get ready for the second half of the day!

Utility apps capture powerful signals of everyday consumer intent. Using MyFitnessPal as a case study, this session explores how publishers can transform first-party behavior into differentiated audience products, create more relevant advertising experiences, and connect high-intent consumers with brands at meaningful moments. Attendees will learn how these signals can drive stronger campaign performance, measurable outcomes, and long-term advertiser value.
As digital growth becomes more complex, campaign metrics alone don’t tell the full story. This session explores how apps, first-party data, and incrementality can transform media performance into measurable business growth. Learn how brands can move beyond clicks, installs, and attributed conversions to understand true customer behavior, prove incremental impact, and turn digital performance into a connected growth engine.
Taking another break will allow you to power up on some snacks (courtesy of SpinX) and get more networking in ahead of our final sessions of the day!
Afternoon Break courtesy of:
David will take the audience behind the scenes of his international lawsuit he faced from 2018-2024, what OGH's (his legal team) strategy was, and how this precedent setting case made it's way up the entire Dubai court system to the Court of Cassation.
