Packed conference, packed schedule
Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan kicks off with an introductory session to the show and global industry. It’ll be followed by the reveal of the winners of the Jordan Gaming Lab and The App Challenge Program, hosted by Maysalward CEO and founder Nour Khrais. These initiatives are playing a crucial role in reshaping Jordan’s mobile game development landscape.
There will also be the reveal of the Aqaba Hackathon results, which brought together 26 developers across the country for five days of rigorous training with the Maysalward team to create mobile games that “highlight Aqaba’s unique economic and tourism opportunities”.
The conference is also set to host a number of side events, including the Jordan Games Awards 2024, the Very Big Indie Pitch, Connector SpeedMatch for publishers, developers and investors, networking parties and more.
Ahead of the show we published an article on how MENA’s games industry has seen unprecedented interest and investment over the past few years as local governments ramp up funding. It’s all part of plans to grow the region’s tech and games sectors, diversifying their economies for the future.
