Steel Media, the company behind PocketGamer.biz and the Pocket Gamer Connects conferences, will host the second Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards in association with publisher Game Insight during Pocket Gamer Connects London 2020.

Made possible by the support from Game Insight, the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards will recognise the sector’s key players over the last year, from the developers making great games to the publishers, tool makers and service providers that are helping to build a platform for success.
