Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast SVP of digital strategy and licensing Eugene Evans will be heading to Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco next month to discuss getting the best out of IP in games.

The event takes place on March 18th to 19th and features all the usual PGC goodness: a track full of insightful sessions, roundtables where industry professionals can air their views on hot topics, networking opportunities (like Publisher SpeedMatch, Investor Connector and more), the Journalist Bar, the Very Big Indie Pitch and much more.

Evans will host a session entitled: ‘Expanding Brands Through Mobile: 3 Things to Know When Licensing for a Mobile App’.

Evans has driven growth for popular brands like Monopoly, Peppa Pig, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons and more. After a particularly exciting year launching mobile app Monopoly GO!, Evans will reflect on the key pillars of how to make a game great while keeping what made the IP great in the first place.
