Here we go!

PocketGamer.biz's G-STAR 2017 party and networking guide

G-STAR is one of the biggest games industry gatherings in the world, and this year it's taking place between November 16th to 19th.

You'll be plenty busy at a show that welcomes thousands upon thousands of people in both its B2C and B2B areas.

Inbetween it all you might want to let your hair down a bit and relax come the evenings.

Party on

To get you the lowdown on all the parties and networking opportunities in Busan (where the event is taking place) during the week, PocketGamer.biz has put together a list of the go-to G-STAR shindigs.

Of course we're biased, so we reckon you should head to our very own event:

The Big Indie Pitch @ G-STAR 2017 

And you can always set up a meeting with us during business hours by contacting us directly or filling in this form here.

But there's plenty more parties happening to get your networking on at (and maybe a few drinks while you're at it).
