"I was inspired"

DragonfiAR founder and director Alan Boyce told PocketGamer.biz that Pocket Gamer Connects London gave him the chance to network with peers and even influenced his decision to start his own business.

"I was one of several UK indies invited to the I heart indie event within PG Connects 2015 by Amazon for FireTV," said Boyce.

"Previously I had been a software developer (web and Windows) and developed games in my spare time. The Pocket gamer event connected me with like minded indies and allowed me to meet and talk with Peter Molyneux. I was inspired and it led me to start up my own business."

Insightful sessions

Modern Wolf Communications and PR Manager Sophie Atkin said the insights and takeaways from the conference session were a key benefit of attending PGC.

"PGC events allowed me to meet some wonderful people in the industry who I am still friends with today," said Atkin.

"Hosting panels has been a highlight for me, mixing with folks from all over the industry and the world and the amount you take away from each session is so rewarding."
