Latest speakers from Cmune, MojiWorks, Amazon, Affiniti, IGDA, Newzoo, Scientific Revenue and Scopely join PG Connects San Francisco 2017

Thought our speaker roster for PG Connects San Franciscoon June 27th to 28th had dried up?

Please. We've been busy tinkering with the agenda, sure, but the outreach continues.

Come meet our third wave of new faces, in fact:

  • LK Shelley, Affiniti Ventures
  • Mike Hines, Amazon
  • Patty Toledo, BizzMuse
  • Ludovic Bodin, Cmune
  • Jillian Mood, IGDA
  • Cvetan Rusimov, Imperia Online
  • Matthew Wiggins, MojiWorks
  • Wybe Schutte, Newzoo
  • Bill Grosso & Ted Verani, Scientific Revenue
  • Henry Lowenfels, Scopely

Between them, these fine figures share way more industry knowhow in years than 50 Cent had problems, or Nena red balloons.

Their addition to the conference programme ensures broad insight, expert knowledge and practical advice will flow abundantly from stage to audience stemming from an agenda that spans monetisation, global publishing, eSports, indie development, casino gaming, industry trends, IP management, funding strategy, talent acquisition, legal wisdom, market overview, design challenges, and many, many, many more. 

And that's just the conference programme. We have a whole host of additional fringe action going on which we'll detail at a later date (you can get a quick overview below to keep you going).

Don't want to miss it? You'll want to grab a ticket at Early Bird rates, then.
