Super packed PGC London 2017 schedule now live: 8 tracks, 90 sessions, 30+ hours

A quick post to point you gently in the direction of Pocket Gamer Connects London 2017 (January 16th to 17th), the full content for which has been fully revealed: you'll find the eight-track schedule now online.

Well, almost 'fully revealed'. There are always a few last-min sessions to confirm so expect one or two gaps in our otherwise seamless programme and, with just under a month to go, there'll be a few niggly details like talk titles to finesse.

But what is live now will give you a pretty decent runthrough what we plan to be up to next year.

Speakers wise, we've rounded most of them up too. From Amazon to Wooga, via a mighty gang in-between, we've got everyone who's anyone into the mix for what is our largest agenda to date.

All the content

Which feeds in rather beautifully into the fact this will be our biggest PGC yet. Because aside from the 140 speakers delivering 30-odd hours of content across eight tracks we also have our usual array of fringe events running throughout the two days.

Choose from between our friendly-but-fierce Very Big Indie Pitch competition, a lively expo area, our recently announced Investor SpeedMatch (a new addition to the already established Publisher SpeedMatch), and of course our Global Connects Party as another way to learn, discover, and really maximise your networking possibility.

Oh, and did we mention that as a PGC delegate you get full access to our inaugural VR Connects conference, too? That's another 45 sessions, 50+ speakers, and some 15 hours of content.

Sounds like something you shouldn't miss? We'd argue so, of course. That's why tickets are available.
