The Pocket Gamer posse already has some grand plans for turning this year’s Casual Connect USA event into one long networking party, but we’ve decided to raise the roof even higher by inviting attendees to join us for a pre-party bash.

At 6pm on 23 July, we’d like you to come along to Vessel in San Francisco during a gap in the expo schedule prior to the official Casual Connect party, and raise a glass to mobile gaming with our magnificent sponsors Everyplay & Unity.

The official unofficial Casual Connect pre-party

Events can be unexpectedly hard work, so it’s our intention to breath a little fun and relaxation into the big show via both our Big Indie Pitch session and the Mobile Mixer gathering on the 21 July. Now we’re rounded it all out with a party that really puts the ‘casual’ in Casual Connect, and delivers another vital opportunity to meet up with the rest of the industry in an informal social spree.

Pocket Gamer parties are universally popular, so make sure you grab your free ticket for the Casual Connect Party in plenty of time, and bring a business card along to get in the door.

It’s set to be a splendid evening of intelligent conversation, fine company and enough free booze to drown a white whale. See you there!
