Less than one week remains until Pocket Gamer Connects Digital #5, which takes place between February 8th and 12th.
Pocket Gamer Connects Digital will continue our string of successful digital events. Yet again, we will provide excellent panels, interesting talks, and fringe events, and we have improved upon the meeting system since our last go around.
We have 14 insightful tracks for attendees to take in – subjects include growth, esports, live ops, global trends, blockchain and hypercasual games.
Every day we will look at each of the 14 tracks in turn. Today is Industry Visions & Values, the lowdown on how to build better companies for sustainable game development.
