We're heating up now. Joining the PG Connects San Francisco (#PGCSanFran) conference roster, alongside the already revealed East Meets West, Indie Survival Guide, and Acquire, Engage, Monetize, is the fourth and final main track.
And it's an exciting new addition.
Our Future of Mobile Gaming track is designed specifically to give you a head start on key industry issues.
The pace of change of the mobile gaming industry is so fast that it can often be a struggle to keep up.
So in the first half of this track, we’ll look at what lies ahead for the mobile gaming business. We’ll discuss what the future holds for legal issues in the sector, how games are becoming educational tools, and how to get your game covered by the press in the age of the YouTuber.
And in the second half, we’ll turn our attention to the future of mobile gaming technology. Looking at the opportunities in the AR, VR and wearable space, as well as taking a general look at technology trends, we’ll help you to decide what areas to exploit.
