Giving thanks to the sponsors who are helping make our first online-only event happen

Pocket Gamer Connects Digital #1: Meet the sponsors

Pocket Gamer Connects Digital #1 is just a few days away, and we're busy making sure our first online-only conference is as good as we can make it.

For those of you who don't know, PG Connects Digital #1 is the best of our Pocket Gamer Connects conferences in an online form, with an entire week of talks, meetings, and pitch events from April 6th to the 10th.

If you haven't already got your tickets, you've still got time to pick them up. Head to the site to get signed up, but be quick! The show starts in literally a matter of days, and you really don't want to miss out.

But we couldn't have done this alone. Without the help of our generous sponsors, PG Connects Digital #1 simply wouldn't exist, so we'd like to dedicate some time to thanking them for helping us produce the next evolution of our world-renowned conference series.

So without further ado, please meet our sponsors!
