Content is king

Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco 2015 will offer two days packed with 4 main tracks:

  • Top mobile marketing and user life cycle tips in Acquire, Engage, Monetise;
  • Key overview and data from global experts in East Meets West;
  • Essential advice on how to keen an independent studio afloat in Indie Survival Guide;
  • and a look ahead at emerging technologies in The Future of the Industry.

Crammed into this already condensed-but-beautifully-formed package are our usual fringe event offerings, namely the I Love Indie Showcase to support up-and-coming talent, The Very Big Indie Pitch competition (still open for entries), and PG Party.

We're far from done yet, though, so watch this space.

For now, current details of the conference, speakers, and content - including registration for Mid Term discounted tickets - can be found at www.pgconnects.com/sanfrancisco.
