There are only two weeks until Pocket Gamer Connects returns to Helsinki for its sixth anniversary, and we want to make sure everyone has a chance to take part!

Held on October 1st and 2nd at The Cable Factory, 1,500 industry professionals will hear from 200 of the world’s leading experts in the games industry, featuring in 16 wall-to-wall conference tracks providing over 110 hours of content, covering everything from industry trends and monetisation, to user acquisition and retention.

We also provide delegates a free online meeting scheduler, as well as run a whole host of fringe events and networking opportunities, such as: Big Indie Zone, publisher SpeedMatch, Investor Connector, Very Big Indie Pitch, and Global Connects Party.

Get on board the party bus!

IGDA Finland and Pocket Gamer want as many folks as possible to have a chance to take part in this event, regardless of location within Finland.

To make everything more accessible and convenient for our friends outside the Helsinki area, we’re organising bus rides from hubs at certain spots around the country.

We will be providing buses completely free of charge - you just need to register here and turn up!

Free buses will depart from Jyväskylä & Tampere, Turku, and Kouvola and Kotka on the morning of the first day of the event (October 1st), returning after the event ends on October 2nd.

There’s also a part-paid bus from Kajaani, made possible by support from Kajak Games. Price per passenger will range from €30-€72, depending on final number travelling.

Please note that bus tickets do not include entry to the conference! You will need to book your own ticket to Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki, which you can do here.
