Get your ticket for the post-ceremony reception at the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards

The Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards in association with Game Insight (January 22nd) is filling up - you can still grab your seat right here.

As space fills up, we’ve also opened up an alternative ticket for post-awards networking.

You won’t be able to watch the ceremony or take part in pre-ceremony drinks with this ticket, but you can drop by for the post-awards reception and hang out with industry luminaries. Seems like a pretty good deal to us.

Head on over to the Mobile Games Awards website to check out your ticket options.

We look forward to seeing you at the show!

Celebrating the industry's finest

The second ever Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2019 in association with Game Insight kicks off on Tuesday, January 22nd.

On the night an exclusive audience of industry professionals and top execs will gather to celebrate the mobile games sector’s finest, from the developers making great games to the publishers, tool makers and service providers that are helping to build a platform for success.

As well as the ceremony, there will also be plenty of time for networking with industry stars before and after.

The event will be held at the prestigious BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, London (just after Pocket Gamer Connects London).

You can grab your ticket on the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards website. (Please note a PGC ticket will not get you into this event).

If you've got any questions, email PocketGamer.biz senior editor Craig Chapple at craig.chapple@steelmedia.co.uk.
