The Casual Connect event is back in Europe next week and over 3,500 professionals are expected to bustle into Hamburg from 7-8 February 2012.

The event will see some inspirational figures in the industry give presentations, including folks from Fishlabs, Papaya Mobile, Playdom and Zynga.

Naturally this means that the PocketGamer team will be there in full regalia (put down those lederhosen, Chris) to soak up the atmosphere and to share in the collective wisdom of the European mobile and social gaming community.

Mixing it up

It's not all work though, for, true-to-form, we'll be throwing a party on the Wednesday night.

The PG Mobile Mixer will be held from 6pm. If you're interested in getting involved then you'd best get in touch.
