Want to learn how to keep your game alive and keep your players loyal in the weeks, months and years following your launch? We’re bringing all the experts on how to keep your game going strong following launch together at our conference in London next week!

Next week, on February 14-15, we are reuniting the games industry in London for our first live Pocket Gamer Connects conference in over two years. We are all coming together to collaborate, network, and learn from each other. If meeting up with faces both old and new of the industry wasn’t enough, we will be welcoming over 1500 game industry professionals that you may not usually cross paths with, 225 leading expert speakers ready to share the secrets to their success, and 700 global companies looking to connect. There is no better place to learn how to improve your Live Ops strategy and learn about the current landscape and trends.

At Pocket Gamer Connects, we are devoting a track to just that. Our Live Ops Landscape track is dedicated to explaining and improving your approach to Live Ops, the core of the modern games world. This track features superstar experts discussing how you can give your game the best chance of success in the cloud, the challenges of running Live Ops across different game genres, how powerful UI can transform your game and much more.
