The PocketGamer.biz RoundTable sessions are back! Join us live on January 26th

If we've proven one thing with our Pocket Gamer Connects Digital conferences, it's that you can still have an interesting and insightful discussion with a panel of gaming experts from the comfort of their own homes.

And while we're gearing up to do even more exciting online conference content in the future, we wanted to give our readers more opportunities to learn from the industry's best and brightest.

So we've introduced our PocketGamer.biz RoundTable sessions, a regular chance for professionals to come together and chat about a hot topic, live and direct to your computer. And the best part? It's completely free.

What's coming up?

Our next RoundTable session will take place on Tuesday, 26th January at 4pm BST, in association with our partners Denuvo by Irdeto. The discussion will centre around the design and implementation of security and protection measures in mobile games, and how you can protect your players from malicious behavour. 

How do game developers ensure legitimate players get the best possible experience and that revenue streams are not challenged? How can you ensure fairness, IP and revenue protection in games? We'll be diving into that and more in the upcoming session.

Our speakers include: 

  • Steeve Huin: CMO at Irdeto
  • Christian Koidl: Product owner for mobile protection at Denuvo
  • Pascal Debroek: Player experience consultant at The PX Hub 
  • Chris Winn: Senior game designer at Mediatonic
  • Renee Gittins: Executive Director, IGDA
  • Ben Greenstone: Director, Taso Advisory

The RoundTable will be moderated by PocketGamer.biz contributing editor Jon Jordan. You can sign up to view the free discussion here, which will enable you direct access to the panel to ask any questions you have.

Future RoundTable discussions will focus on topics like pitching to publishers, marketing, game design and development, and much more.

The RoundTables take place once a month, so keep an eye out for announcements.
