Time to unveil another Pocket Gamer Connects London 2017(January 16th to 17th) track.
Given the national aversion to discussing monetary matters, the UK contigency in our audience may cringe at our crassly named Show Me The Money programme, but it remains a popular and essential segment of our PGC line-up for any developer looking for ways to fund their project.
Already confirmed are a supergroup of superknowledgeable souls when it comes to this potentially tricky field:
- Shum Singh, Agnitio Capital
- Robby Yung, Animoca Brands
- Julia Brown, British Film Institute
- Colm Seeley, British Film Institute
- Johan Eile, Cloudcade
- Jim Ying, CV Capital
- Keith Katz, Execution Labs
- Niklas Herridge, Gondola
- LK Shelley, IPC Ventures
- Matt Wilson, Rovio Entertainment
- Jeff Hilbert, Starting Point
- Ella Romanos, Strike Gamelabs
- And a couple more to join them by the time the conference kicks off
You can check out the sessions – focused entirely on helping studios find the investment they need by providing the industry knowhow that could make the difference – in our evolving schedule (you'll also spot other tracks on there, with more on the way).
If you haven't yet, PGC London 2017 tickets are available.
