We're just a fortnight away from delivering PG Connects San Francisco(June 27th to 28th) and the speakers won't stop coming.

You can see what their individually up to in the conference schedule, which will span some 30 hours filled with exemplary insight on monetisation, publishing, eSports, IP, social casino, design methodology, market overviews, business strategy, social platform gaming, play mechanics, funding, analytics and plenty more.

Alongside this we have Badge Pick Up fun, the Very Big Indie Pitch, SpeedMatch, Indie Showcase, Day 1 Party (preceded by the exclusive Speaker Reception), and our handy dedicated Meeting System.

To top it off, if you have even the slightest interest in virtual, augmented, or mixed reality then know that PGC SF delegates automatically get full and free access to sister-conference VR Connects SF.

If that's convinced you but you've yet to book, we won't judge. But we will mention that as a PG.biz reader you can grab a 15% discount if you checkout using code PGBIZ15.
