Remedy, Housemarque and Bossa head up PC Connects Helsinki 2017

Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2017 is just a few weeks away (September 19th to 20th), and this year we’ve got a packed schedule that includes our first ever PC Connects tracks.

And it’s already packed with big speakers from big companies, as we’ve got experts from the likes of Alan Wake and Quantum Break developer Remedy, Resogun and Alienation outfit Housemarque, and Surgeon Simulator and Worlds Adrift studio Bossa, and more.

Our speakers will be hosting sessions over two days across four insightful taster tracks. We’ll have development advice, some of the biggest names in games showing us how their games were made, insight into getting discovered in an increasingly busy market, and talks that take a look at the state of play of the industry.

So if you're a developer, a publisher, a platform holder, an investor, a service provider, a consultant, a distributor, a journalist, or in any way related to the PC sector, you should be there.

And that’s not to forget of course that at the same time we’ll also be hosting Pocket Gamer Connects for all things mobile, and XR Connects for the burgeoning virtual reality and augmented reality sectors.
