A list-friendly 'convince your boss' cheat sheet for January 22nd to 23rd event

13 reasons to make PG Connects London your first conference of 2018

Come January 22nd to 23rd 2018 we'll host our fifth – and biggest – PGC London.

That alone might be enough to convince your boss to let you attend. But assuming you've not experienced the past four PGC Londons – heck, you're not even sure we're a legit operation – here's a handy list of why anyone working within the mobile games industry should be there:

  1. We've been running the Connects international conference series since 2014 – that's 13 events in the UK, North America, Finland, India… and every one has been bigger/better than the last
  2. For London 2018 we'll have 2,000+ delegates from every corner of the industry – indies, dev studios, publishers, c-level executives, investors, service providers, hardware manufacturers, students, media and more
  3. Full international representation with over 55 nationalities in attendance
  4. 950+ companies ranging from the biggest names to promising startups
  5. More than 120 speakers with some of the finest minds delivering the sharpest insight
  6. A 10-track programme consisting of 45+ hours of content, from classic topics monetisation strategies, market overviews and indie success stories to newcomers influencers, ICOs and eSports
  7. Brand new dedicated workshop sessions for essential practical knowhow
  8. A bustling expo area showcasing the latest unmissable – and often undiscovered – talent
  9. 3 x Indie Pitch competitions set to unearth 'the next big thing'
  10. More than 5,000 business encounters through our bespoke meeting system
  11. Networking-tastic options, from arranged encounters to a fully restructured scheduling to the renowned Global Connects after-party, everything is centred on you making the connections that matter
  12. Our very latest addition at the end of Day 2, Mobile Games Awards (last chance to submit!)
  13. Full access to associate conferences XR Connects and PC Connects taking place alongside PGC

That's 13 reasons. If you're superstitious, or you simply dislike odd numbers, here's another: we're Europe's largest dedicated mobile games industry event.

Are your (or your boss') concerns dealt with? Then know that the PG Connects London 2018 Early Bird rate is still live.
