5 reasons Pocket Gamer Connects London 2015 is perfect for indie developers

Being an indie developer on mobile is tough and we damn well know it. Making a quality mobile game is hard enough either on your lonesome or as part of a small team, let alone dealing with the crazy marketing and PR efforts that have to go with it.

That’s why Pocket Gamer Connects London on 13-14 January 2015 has been designed with the little guy in mind. But why exactly would you as an indie developer benefit from coming along to a conference like ours?

Here are five fantastic reasons why you should scoot down to Central London at the beginning of the year.

1) Learn from the best in the Indie Survival Guide

On the second day of Pocket Gamer Connects, we’re keeping it real by understanding the indie challenge in our survival guide track.

The likes of Rami Ismail, Barry Meade, Jon Ingold, James Vaughan, Ella Romanos and more will be sharing their experiences about how they kept their indie studios alive so that they could thrive today.

Realistic, helpful and still a lot of fun, we’re pretty confident that our survival guide is the equivalent of Arthur Dent’s bath towel in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

2) Chance your arm at the Very Big Indie Pitch

If you’re an indie reading this, chances are you’re making a mobile game. But how can you find out if it is on the right track to success or get it in front of the journalists who may be able to help it along the way?

The Very Big Indie Pitch is the perfect answer. Taking place on day 1 of the conference, you’ll have the chance to show your game off to over a dozen leading writers and business people in the industry to get invaluable feedback.

So if you want to have your chance of winning some awesome prizes and getting coverage, then Pocket Gamer Connects is the place to be for just that very thing.

The deadline for applications closes on 8 December

3) Display your game on our indie showcase

If you’re not wanting leave your fates to the gods and are simply happy showing off your game in a cool way over two days, our Indie Showcase is the perfect professional way to do just that.

Our low cost showcase packages will help you to set up an area for you to show off your games in style, meaning that you can put the indie into professindie-nal and give your game the lick of presentational polish it truly deserves.

4) Meet people who can really help your studio

And if you’re wanting to make sure that your showcase or your ticket delivers bang for your buck, then be reassured about all the really huge names who you’ll be able to hear from or meet.

Ranging from C-level executives at the world’s biggest gaming companies to representatives of publishers and services desperate to help you out, Pocket Gamer Connects will help you find the people to help your studio.

(P.S. Our match maker meeting system is second to none and will help you do that even better.)

5) Do it without breaking the bank

And best of all you can do all of this without splashing too much of the cash. Our specially priced developer tickets and indie showcase stands mean that you can get yourself exposed to all of the great things above without blowing away your life savings.
