The GamesBeat 2014 show kicks off on 15 September in San Francisco with a theme revolving around 'total world domination'.

Sounds ominous, but at least the Pocket Gamer crew will be on hand to help you unwind with a drink at out GamesBeat Mobile Mixer.

Our patented blend of networking and partying takes place on the evening of 15 September at the spectacular Vessel venue in San Francisco's Campton Place, and will bring together the elite of the mobile games world.

As per usual, we’ll be hosting a fun and informative panel to help you get the conversation started.

With the help of one of the Pocket Gamer team and our wonderful sponsors from Tapsense, our panellists will be coming together to talk about the latest hot topics from the games industry.

But that’s not all, of course. After the constructive arguing has died down, we’ll be settling into an evening full of fantastic conversation and brilliant beverages to help you turn those casual connections into brilliant business contacts.

And we’ll have some of our team around to chat with in case you think you’ve got the next big story in mobile gaming on your hands.

You can pick up a free ticket right now by registering for the Mobile Mixer, and don't forget to bring a business card along to get in the door.

And while you're in the ticket-grabbing mood, don't forget that early-bird special offers are still available for next year's epic Pocket Gamer Connects show in London.
