About the week

For one week, the city becomes the room.

One week in Istanbul, 30+ events for the people building apps: founder dinners and brunches, investor speed dating, growth sessions, a padel cup, a cigar club and a retreat outside the city. Each one co-hosted with a company from the app world, each a small, curated room.

The week

No single stage. The whole city is the venue.

Across one week, 30+ events take Istanbul, each co-hosted with a company from the app world: founder dinners, a marketing leaders' brunch, investor speed dating, a padel cup, a cigar club, a harvest retreat on a farm outside the city. The line-up grows every week - these are the ones already live.

The week is the point. Many events are co-hosted with regional partners, the same model that made RevenueCat's NYC week work.

RevenueCat × Peax × Neon Apps App Founders' Cigar Club
An evening for app and game founders in Istanbul. No panels, no slides, no name badges. Just cigars, good drinks and the conversations founders usually save for each other: which channels actually scale, what paywall tests taught you, where subscription revenue gets stuck, and what the next growth move looks like. Apps built in Turkey now compete seriously on the global stage, yet the people building them mostly know each other through LinkedIn. This evening is about closing that gap and talking openly about numbers, mistakes and what works, off the record. What we'll talk about • User acquisition: The real problems of scaling on Meta, Google, TikTok and Apple Ads • Subscriptions and paywalls: Pricing, trials, paywall tests and growing subscription revenue • Measurement: iOS attribution headaches, MMP setup and how much you can trust your data • ASO and ad monetization: Organic growth and balancing ad revenue with subscriptions Who it's for Founders, co-founders and senior leaders running their own app or game. If your product is live and growth is on your mind, you'll fit right in. Registration We're keeping the table small, so registration needs approval. Mention your company and the app you're working on to speed things up. When and where 📅 Friday, November 6. Doors open at 19:00, we're there until midnight. 📍 Barbary Brasserie, Ayazağa / Sarıyer Not a cigar person? Come anyway. The conversation is the point. Hosts RevenueCat In-app subscription and purchase infrastructure used by thousands of apps worldwide. Peax Istanbul-based mobile growth agency helping app and game companies with user acquisition. Neon Apps Istanbul-based mobile app development company. If you're wondering how to split your UA budget, why your paywall isn't converting or how to read your ROAS, he'll be happy to dig in over the evening.
