Every Year, A Bigger Bash

Ten years, countless partners, one story worth telling.

For the third year running, we welcomed our partner companies to Sri Lanka for a week that felt like so much more than business as usual. Fifteen international partners joined the Gapstars family for five days full of surprises — from authentic Sri Lankan cuisine to a high-speed tuk-tuk race through the streets of Colombo, hands-on agile learning with LEGO® Serious Play, and giving back to the community at GapCon. It was growth, impact, and community in action — and a reminder of what happens when different cultures and talents come together for one unforgettable week.

Making Its Entrance

GapCon 2025 turned Scale-Up Week into a showcase floor. At the Impact Kiosk, partners supported the Liv Foundation and Home of Hope, putting real weight behind Gapstars' community work in education and shelter. The Growth Kiosk introduced Cosmos, Gapstars' own platform for managing remote teams, built to make distributed collaboration less of a guessing game. And for anyone who wanted a break from kiosks, the escape room delivered - coding challenges and clues, teams racing the clock to break free together.
