The rumours and speculation were true: we can finally officially announce that, yes, Pocket Gamer is putting on its own conference. And it's going to be massive.
Pocket Gamer Connects will be held at London's Vinopolis in Southbank on January 21st 2014, with fringe events - such as our Mobile Mixer - taking place on 20 January.
The theme this year is "East meets West", which will see high profile speakers and delegates from across all mobile games markets converge for a day of talks, panel discussions, sharing ideas, networking, and of course a party or two.
Cool connections
If you're in mobile software development, publishing, or involved with any aspect of games on phones, and you want to reach new markets and make connections with fellow industry-types at a beautiful metropolitan location, then this is the conference for you.
"We've been dedicated to helping the mobile games industry develop for almost 8 years now," said Chris James, managing director of Pocket Gamer publisher Steel Media.
"In that time we've created some of the industry's leading websites, reports, awards and a whole host of great networking events.
"A fully fledged conference is the next natural step and we believe our expertise and connections will allow us to create something genuinely innovative, valuable and of course fun."
We're readying to announce the first batch of high profile speakers already secured for Pocket Gamer Connects, but if you'd like to enquire about speaking opportunities, get in touch with Elspeth Lawson via elspeth.lawson [at] steelmedia.co.uk.
If you're simply looking to attend or find out about sponsorship all the details you need are over on the Pocket Gamer Connects website.
