Leading mobile gaming industry conference, Pocket Gamer Connects, returns to Helsinki in 2018 - bigger and better than ever. More than 1,000 delegates will gather at the Scandic Marina Congress Center for the two days on September 11-12 to hear from 120 of the world’s leading authorities from the mobile gaming industry. Filling 12 wall-to-wall conference tracks across both days, they will share their expert insight on everything from monetisation to the latest development trends.

One Ticket, Two Conferences

An exciting addition for this year is our shiny new dedicated blockchain games event. Blockchain technology has the potential to truly revolutionize the games industry, whether through the creation of a whole new category of Dapps, enabling secondary markets for in-game digital assets, creating new models for rewarding players, or the 101 other uses that are currently being conceived.

There are incredible opportunities and big rewards on offer, but there’s no shortage of issues to navigate, pitfalls to avoid, and trends to stay abreast of in these very early days. Which is precisely why we're launching Blockchain Gamer Connects – access to which is included in all PG Connects Helsinki tickets (and vice versa).

The games industry is about to change for good. Get ahead of the game with our new dedicated conference.

New Features

New conference tracks for 2018 keep our audience at the cutting edge of the industry, including influencer marketing and blockchain gaming, as well as company culture and brand new track, Connects X, which incorporates PC, XR, console and cross platform gaming. Of course, the seminar schedule still includes classic topics such as market overviews, industry trends, indie development, and case studies.

We’ve also added an all-new dedicated workshop space to help you acquire or develop industry related skills that will help grow your career or business.

Networking For All

As ever, the conference schedule will be packed with our trademark short, sharp seminars. With no time to waffle, our speakers get straight down to business - which is what you’ll be able to do too, networking with more than 1,000 industry professionals.

The event is called Connects because that’s what we help you do; connect with the whole mobile gaming industry, from students and indie studios to the media, international investors and publishers. Unlike other event organisers, we offer our Pitch & Match meeting scheduler free to all delegates, so you can find that perfect contact and arrange to meet them in person.

No other event puts you in touch with the entire mobile gaming industry like our Connects conferences.

Pairing Developers With Publishers And Investors

Our SpeedMatch sessions pair developers in rapid succession with a series of publishers and investors in a series of speed-dating style meetings. These short, sharp encounters enable first contact for you to follow up with a longer meeting if you find a potential partner. It’s a shop window for devs to display their wares and a pipeline of prospects for anyone looking to sign up-and-coming talent.

Meet The Media

We welcome regional and international specialist media to our events so that your work reaches the widest audience possible. With our own publishing powerhouse behind us, you are guaranteed that our industry journalists will be onsite for demos, interviews and other ways to raise awareness of your brand or project to the online community outside the walls of the event.
