The international series of B2B events for the global mobile games industry, Pocket Gamer Connects, returns to the USA on May 13th and 14th.
This year, the conference and expo comes to Seattle for the very first time - and in another first for North America, it will be joined by a partner event entirely dedicated to the PC games industry, PC Connects. Your ticket will get you into both events.
So what will the 1,000 delegates find when they set foot in The Grand Hyatt?
13 Conference tracks
The seminar schedule spans both days with an unprecedented amount of insight and expertise for all games industry professionals across both shows.
1) Pocket Gamer Connects presents nine conference tracks, covering everything from growth and monetisation to influencers and AI.
2) PC Connects adds a further four tracks including what it takes to make a game and how to bring it to market, as well as looking to the future of PC digital game development.
We've already revealed just some of the amazing speakers and we’ll share more details about the conference tracks in the next few days…
