All the companies: Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco 2017 offers true cross-industry representation

Is this the laziest article we've published? It's certainly the one with the most ellipses.

We like to think the story's informative nature more than outweighs the undeniable cut & paste approach evident below, though. (And trust us, the formatting alone takes considerably longer than typing out fresh, scintillating prose).

The now near-imminent Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco 2017 (June 27th to 28th) is packed full of content, speakers, supporting elements galore in the form of indie dev competitions, parties, expo areas, curated meeting sessions, even a bonus VR conference.

You can still pick up tickets to PGC here.

But it's the whole caboodle in attendance, representing hundreds of companies from a genuine cross-section of the sector, that will make one of the biggest differences to your business.

Got this far? Good work – it's not even the full monty. But what started out as a 'quick & easy' PGC SF story has sucked a remarkable amount of time. So there's a few hundred above to give a flavour of who's turning up, with apologies to the many more that didn't end up getting a listing here. 

Anyone already coming knows they'll benefit from this huge cross-section of industry representation soon enough.

If you're not coming, well… we're not saying you'll be missing out but… you'll be missing out.

There's still time. PGC San Francisco tickets are available.


With three boys under the age of 12, former Edge editor Joao has given up his dream of making it to F1 and instead spends his weekends transforming his living room floor into a venue for hosting increasingly complex Scalextric tracks. When in work mode, he looks after the production (aka the behind-the-scenes magic) of Steel Media's series of conferences.
