After twelve years of connecting the app industry as App Promotion Summit, our events are evolving to match how the industry has changed. App Promotion Summit is now Business of Apps London, Berlin, and New York City.
When we launched back in 2013, app growth was primarily about promotion. The big question was: “How do we get installs?” That is why we called the event App Promotion Summit.
The first ever App Promotion Summit in 2013
Since then, however, app growth has matured and diversified. Today, it encompasses the full funnel — from user acquisition and retention to monetization, subscriptions, and product development.
Our events too have grown alongside the shift. What began as small, one-room gatherings are now large-scale events with exhibitions, meeting programmes, multi-track content, and over 1,000 attendees. These are not summits anymore; they are international, industry-defining events with an audience that includes CMOs, CPOs, growth leaders, product managers, and founders from the world’s biggest apps.
Meanwhile, our media platform Business of Apps has become the leading source of insights, news, and analysis for the industry, reaching 150,000+ professionals monthly, and is a source of data on the app industry for the Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, and the BBC.
Bringing our events and media under the Business of Apps brand reflects where the industry stands today and creates a clearer, stronger, and better platform for the community we serve.
