Pocket Gamer Connects is bringing its acclaimed Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit to London for the first time in 2026.

Hosted at the Barbican, one of the UK’s leading arts and performance venues, the one-day event will explore the creative and commercial intersections between games, film, TV, music, and other media.

Building on the success of its Helsinki debut, the London summit will unite storytellers, producers, investors, and technologists to discuss the future of shared IP and cross-media collaboration, connecting the UK’s vibrant creative industries with the global games community.

The mission is to establish Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit as a regular feature of the PGC calendar and to position PGC London as the UK’s premier connection point for games and the wider media industries, creating opportunities for collaboration, co-production, and investment across creative sectors.

Expect talks and panels featuring insights from experts across games, film, TV, and music in a dedicated auditorium within the celebrated Barbican event space.

Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit is a partner event of PGC London and access is included as part of the PGC London ticket. (A separate summit-only ticket for cross-media industry is available.)
