Playdemic, Armada, Animoca, Gamevil, Agnitio, Scientific Revenue, Exit Games and Chorus kick off the PG Connects London 2018 speaker roster

>10 PRINT 'January 22nd to 23rd'
>20 GOTO 'PGC London 2018'

Probably a little too basic, but the point remains: Pocket Gamer Connects London next year will be our fifth conference in UK's capital and if you work in this industry you may want to save the date and ensure you make it along.

Biggest and bestest

Aiming for an 'anniversary edition' that will continue the fine growth and evolution of the Connects series to date, it'll be our grandest outing yet.

That means we'll welcome over 2,000 delegates from every corner of the mobile gaming globe and deliver a 10-track programme consisting of 45+ hours of content split across three auditoriums.

Which means we'll need speakers, and to kick things off we're delighted to confirm our first batch from the 120 mighty minds we're expecting:

  • Shum Singh, Agnitio Capital
  • Robby Yung, Animoca Brands
  • Natalie Portier, Appodeal
  • Samuli Syvähuoko, Armada Interactive
  • Shintaro Kanaoya, Chorus Worldwide
  • Anette Staloy, Dirtybit
  • Christof Wegmann, Exit Games
  • David Mohr, Gamevil Europe
  • Filip Cholewczynski, MobOwl
  • Kosuke Kurokawa, Nobollel
  • Paul Gouge, Playdemic
  • Bill Grosso & Ted Verani, Scientific Revenue
  • Alex Moukas, wappier

We have more 'in the works' but we're happy for others to share their expertise and insight on a number of particular topics. Such as:

  • Influencers
  • eSports
  • Live Ops
  • 'Big data'
  • Game mechanics and design
  • Social platform gaming
  • UX
  • Monetisation
  • UA
  • Global markets (data focus)

So if that's an area of interest for you, you're a person of interest for us: speaker submissions are open. (We'll consider topics outside of the above, of course – but those are the current focus.)

If you're a listener, not a talker, there's good news too: the Super Early Bird rates are still available and they represent a super saving on the full price tickets.
