Creativity, innovation and opportunity

Speaking about the partnership, Steel Media general manager Dave Bradley said: “The most important thing in business is relationships – building trust is essential to doing business between East and West. This is why our events are called ‘Connects’, because we bring people together.

"We’re therefore especially thrilled to be working with our partners MyGamez to bring our second event to China this year, and this time we’re in official partnership with ChinaJoy, one of the biggest and most influential games industry events in the world.

“As Pocket Gamer Connects Summit Shanghai returns on 29th July, with help from local experts MyGamez, we’re looking forward to being in one of Asia’s most modern and vibrant cities, at a moment when the global games industry is coming together to celebrate creativity, innovation and opportunity.

“Alongside hosting our own summit, we’ll also be reporting from ChinaJoy and meeting game makers, publishers, investors and industry leaders from across the world. We’re honoured to be working with all our partners, media, events and sponsors to help connect the international games community, encourage knowledge sharing and support meaningful collaboration across borders.”
