• Join over 3,000 industry professionals for two days of focused networking and industry insights unlocking new business opportunities for the new year.

Following a sold-out event in 2025, Pocket Gamer Connects London returns on January 19th to 20th, 2026, for what promises to be its most ambitious edition yet.

Marking the 20th anniversary of Pocket Gamer, this year’s flagship event will bring together over 3,000 professionals from across the global games industry, representing more than 70 countries and every corner of the ecosystem - from indie developers to senior executives at multi-billion-dollar publishers.

Connections remain central to the Pocket Gamer Connects experience. The 2026 event will once again integrate the MeetToMatch platform, enabling more than 7,000 pre-scheduled meetings, alongside countless encounters on the show floor, at curated matchmaking sessions, and across the city’s networking receptions and fringe events.

Come for powerful networking, be encouraged and sharpened for the work year ahead at the friendliest, most professional, and biggest B2B games event in the UK. 

Cutting-edge insight from global experts

With over 290 speakers expected, PGC London will deliver actionable insight into the latest industry trends, including AI, cloud/HTML5, XR, monetisation strategies, user acquisition, and cross-platform development. Attendees will gain first-hand knowledge of the innovations shaping the future sector.
