Tetris president and CEO Maya Rogers to speak at PGC Barcelona

Tetris president and CEO Maya Rogers will speak at Pocket Gamer Connects Barcelona on June 15th and 16th, joining a wave of star speakers at the conference.

Now in its fifth decade, Tetris has grown well beyond its falling-blocks origins into a global brand spanning games, film, toys, apparel and entertainment, with more than 100 licensing partners. 

Widely considered the best-selling game of all time, Tetris has been re-released across dozens of platforms since its 1984 debut, contributing to a total of around 520 million sales.

Under Rogers' leadership the company has shipped titles like Tetris Effect: Connected and Tetris 99. The firm also brought its own origin story to the screen, with Rogers serving as executive producer on the 2023 Apple TV+ film Tetris starring Taron Egerton.

Rogers joins a raft of top speakers heading to PGC Barcelona on June 15th and 16th from companies including Zynga, Rovio, Scopely, FunPlus, Gameloft and many more.
