• Rebranded to fully embrace the Nordic games industry family, Pocket Gamer Connects Nordics takes place in Helsinki on October 20th and 21st.

It's familiar, it's trusted and it's where the Nordic games industry has gathered annually since 2014.

As the trees shed their leaves and autumn falls over the Finnish landscape, Pocket Gamer Connects will return to Helsinki on October 20th to 21st. But just like the birches mature and get bigger year-on-year, our traditional event has grown, now taking on a new, Nordic label for 2026.

Since our bright beginnings 12 years ago, every edition has welcomed more game makers, publishers, service providers, platforms and investors from the local, regional and international scene to acquire market knowledge and identify key connections.

We're embracing that growth by celebrating the wider regional games industry family not only from Finland, but also Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland. We’ve always welcomed you too, only now our rebrand reflects that more clearly.

With that said, we’re excited to announce that tickets are now live for Pocket Gamer Connects Nordics, taking place on October 20th to 21st in Finland’s fine capital Helsinki and proudly part of Finnish Games Week 2026.

What’s more, we’ve made entry more accessible by rolling back ticket rates for indie studios and developers in support of the challenges facing these sectors of the Nordic industry.

The new name also means greater content and bigger scope. Expect essential industry insight from expert speakers and an abundance of business-making opportunities during two curated days packed tighter than tinned herring, as we connect northern Europe with the global games industry.
