RevenueCat × Neon Apps Behind the Hit Apps

Across half a day at BTM in Fulya, app founders take the stage to tell the story behind the most successful app they have built: where the idea came from, the moment it started to work, what nearly sank it and what they changed to keep it growing.

Four of them take the stage alone, twenty minutes each, and every talk ends on one insight - the single lesson they would put above everything else they learned getting there. Two panels of two founders: thirty minutes each, one moderator asking each founder in turn how their app actually got there. No two people on stage bring the same insight.

Two hundred and fifty seats, approved one by one, go to the app founders, product managers and growth leads in Istanbul for App Week. After the event, every insight from the stage lands in your inbox on a single page.

Good to know

BTM is in Polat Tower in Fulya, between Mecidiyeköy and Zincirlikuyu. The closest stops are Fulya (M7) and Mecidiyeköy (M2, M7 and the metrobus). Parking around the building is tight, so take the metro if you can.

Seats are approved one by one on Luma. An approved spot is a real seat, so free it up if your plans change.

Talks run in Turkish and English. Smart casual, straight from work is fine.
