Less than one week remains until Pocket Gamer Connects Digital #4, which takes place between November 9th and 13th.
Pocket Gamer Connects Digital will continue our string of successful digital events. Yet again, we will provide excellent panels, interesting talks, and fringe events, and we have improved upon the meeting system since our last go around.
The number of tracks has increased for our fourth digital event. We have 16 insightful tracks for attendees to take in – subjects include growth, esports, live ops, global trends, Blockchain and big screen gaming.
Every day we will look at each of the 16 tracks in turn. Today’s is Industry Visions and Values, kicking off on Friday 13th November at 9:30am.
