The real obstacle for indie game creators these days is exposure.

Getting your game seen by the media and the industry leaders is an immensely difficult task, which is why the Pocket Gamer team work hard to remove the luck from that equation and give you a fighting chance at self-promotion.

As the Apps World show moves to its new home in London's ExCel expo centre on 13 November 2014, the Big Indie Pitch is already in place to put the spotlight firmly on the indie developers and their games.

Speed pitching

Sponsored by Immersion, the Big Indie Pitch offers a simple concept that takes very little time for the developers, yet can have massive impact on their careers.

We gather together a panel of leading experts, journalists and industry players at App World, and you're invited to bring along your games - even those that are still a work in progress, so long as you've enough to deliver a valuable demo - and sit down for a couple of minutes with each of the panelists.

At the end we'll select a winner, who walks away with a promotional package that sees their game and their studio splashed across the entire Steel Media package (and therefore the broad side of the internet), and a couple of runners up.

More than that, you get expert feedback and advice on how to add that essential layer of polish to your game, which could make all the difference between epic downloads on launch day and App Store obscurity.

So register your place at the Apps World Big Indie Pitch table today, and get seen.
