From Pocket Gamer Connects: Planning to sneak through the door at our next PGC on June 28th-29th?
Friend, there’s no need. There are ways to get in without paying that won’t end up with you taking a swim in Vancouver Harbour.
If you’re an indie with a game currrently in development (or recently finished), then entering our Very Big Indie Pitch is a way to ensure you get two free passes for the conference – assuming your game gets picked to be be pitched at the event. (And if not, you still qualify for a discounted ticket.)
Don’t have a game ready to show but you’re a developer looking for work? You read our mind. New for PGC Vancouver is a ‘Careers Zone‘, an area for recruiters and job seekers within the ‘expo’ area that will showcase companies that are hiring across all disciplines.
Successfully signing up to this grants (limited) access to the conference for any mobile game developer currently planning their next career move. Full details, and registration link, here.
If you don’t fit the bill for either of the above, may we humbly suggest you consider coming along anyway? We’ve got a conference agenda packed with some of the industry’s finest speakers, meaning 80+ sessions, fringe events galore, and unrivalled networking spread so thickly over two days that anyone involved in mobile gaming should be lining to dive in.
