PG Connects Jordan 2023 is a MUST for Indies! Here's why...

Unfortunately this event has been postponed.


If you've attended a Pocket Gamer Connects conference before, you're probably aware that indie developers and publishers make up a significant portion of our attendees. In fact, historically, around 70% of our audience consists of talented gamemakers and we're once again incredibly proud to support our indie audience and maximise their experience at our upcoming shows.


So if you're an indie developer seeking to scale your business and career, PG Connects conferences are the perfect destination. We can bring you face-to-face with key decision-makers in the industry, by providing the perfect environment for learning, networking, and growth. And, for PGC Jordan (November 4 - 5) we'll be recognising the exceptional indie talent within the MENA region and delivering unmatched opportunities to help you to achieve the career breakthrough you've always dreamed of.


Live from Jordan, and overlooking the picturesque Dead Sea, over 700 games industry professionals will gather from across the globe to gain insights from more than 100 top thought leaders from around the world of games. Brace yourself for two action-packed days filled with impactful talks, seminars, and panel discussions. It's all part of the abundant learning, networking, and scaling opportunities that await indie developers like you.


Want to know more about what we have in store for indies at PG Connects Jordan? Here's what's happening:


The VERY big indie pitch: Mobile, PC and Console Edition


Pitch your indie games to a panel of expert judges across Mobile, PC and Console.


This unique format gives each developer five minutes (including Q&A) with each panel of experts, meaning all entrants will get feedback in real-time and post-event via email too. Think 'speed-dating for developers and experts' and you get the idea.


It's a fantastic chance for media coverage, instant feedback and maybe even a PRIZE!


When does it take place?
The Very Big Indie Pitch is scheduled to run on Saturday, November 4th.
The session will run 12:00pm – 3:00pm.

The Big Indie Zone

Developers can pre-book a two-day demo table (inc: conference passes, making this an excellent value option). Present your awesome creation to fellow Connects delegates live in Jordan! The expo area runs for the full duration of the two days of the show.


Be a key indie attraction in a vibrant and popular part of our event and get your game in front of publishers looking for new talent, investors in search of their next focus, service providers keen to share the benefits of their tools, plus other developers so that you can exchange ideas with your contemporaries.
