With a little under two months to go until Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki lands, we thought it was a good time to pull back the covers and start to reveal a little of what we have in store for you.
Over the next days and weeks we'll be lifting the lid on all aspects of our upcoming conference to demonstrate that we have something for everyone in the mobile game scene, from C-Level executives of billion dollar companies to the smallest indie developers.
To kick things off we're going to give you an initial glimpse at some of the speakers who will be sharing their knowledge and insight in Helsinki on 16 and 17 June.
Speaker's corner
Featuring the likes of Matias Myllrinne of Remedy, Frogmind's Johannes Vuorinen, Vladimir Funtikov of Creative Mobile, Tommy Palm from King, Markus Grand Cru's Markus Pasula and David Bluhm of DropForge (the mobile studio leveraging Wargaming's IP), plus representatives from Ubisoft, Rovio, CornFox Studios and Housemarque, our speaker list is already looking from a who's who from across the industry.

That's some list, isn't it? Nevertheless, it's far from the only draw for those who have already booked their place at the second PG Connects.
Set in a fantastic venue in Helsinki's Wanha Satama (that's the Old Harbor in Finnish), we'll be packing two conference tracks, developer pitching sessions, an engaging expo, numerous networking opportunities and all manner of other entertainment into two whole days of leading fun. And if it's anything like the smash hit conference we hosted for 700 of the industry's best and brightest back in London at the beginning of the year, then this should be an absolute treat.
Tickets for the event are already selling like hot cakes and you'll need to act fast to see all of these big name speakers spilling the beans in June. Head over to www.pgconnects.com or our Eventbrite page here and secure your place at the show.
And make sure you keep your eyes on PocketGamer.biz and the rest of the Pocket Gamer network in the coming weeks – we're going to have a lot more announcements for you soon.
