PG Connects Advent Day 17: Three conferences, one ticket

We're running a 'PGC London 2018 Advent Calendar' throughout December. Every day, an informative conference-related update full of triple value treat.

At 12 tracks delivered by some 120 speakers and covering everything from influencer marketing, eSports, blockchain/ICO, company culture to monetisation strategies, market overviews, business insight, to development knowhow, post mortems, indie success stories, talent acquisition, and technical insight, the agenda for PG Connects London 2018 (January 22nd to 23rd) will be our broadest yet. And on top of that we'll offer a smorgasbord of fringe activity.

But there's more. A lot more.

Returning for its second year, albeit in rebranded and reworked form, is XR Connects London. Five tracks, 40 speakers from the likes of CherryPop Games, AMD, PlayStation VR, Greenpeace, nDreams, Resolution Games, Coatsink, Immersion, Wargaming and more, 30+ hours of content covering trends, technical and design knowhow, future technologies, real-world case studies focusing on the virtual and augmented reality worlds. We'll play host to some 250 companies from across the XR industry, with a focus on hardware manufacturers, game-developers, entertainment and education software creators, investors and media.

And all-new for 2018 is PC Connects London, an inaugural foray into the PC digital gaming scene with 40 speakers from Ninja Theory, Jagex, Square Enix, Curve Digital, Bithell Games, Imperia Online, ICO Partners and friends, on 4 tracks dedicated to the core issues facing game developers in the space, from creative inspiration and technical tricks through to advice on marketing and business in a changing retail environment.

Why the expansion into XR and PC for the Connects series? Well, platform crossover is increasingly a reality for the world's developers of digital entertainment so we're looking to reflect this in our quest to connect the industry together.

That's also the very reason one ticket will give you full access to all three conferences. Grab a pass, come along, and simply pick and choose from the programme sessions that best suit your needs (full schedule details to be unveiled next week), and network away with the contacts that will make a difference to your business. No catch.
