Forget 'strong and stable' – PG Connects Helsinki returns in 'biggest, bestest' form

If there's one thing PG Connects Helsinki hasn't done since turning up in 2014 is to stop growing. And the annual conference is set to deliver its fourth edition on September 19th to 20th with a package that aims to smash past expectations.

We have revised content, new additions, more fringe activity, surprise announcements, and even a summer special discount. Read on, industry chum…
 
What we can promise:

What we’re adding this year:

  • Bigger focus on the game creation/production process (specifically game narrative, sound design, character design, UX and live ops)
  • Dedicated agenda space for latest trends, including social media influencers and eSports
  • The arrival of fully formed VR/AR/MR sister-event XR Connects
  • The introduction of PC Connects, with a set of 'taster sessions' focused on the PC gaming market
  • And, yes, even a game music concert

With three boys under the age of 12, former Edge editor Joao has given up his dream of making it to F1 and instead spends his weekends transforming his living room floor into a venue for hosting increasingly complex Scalextric tracks. When in work mode, he looks after the production (aka the behind-the-scenes magic) of Steel Media's series of conferences.
