Deals are done, and friendships are made. So we put networking at the heart of the conference – the clue's in the name!Of course, the schedule will be packed with our trademark focused seminars. But the event is called Connects because that’s what we help you do: connect with the whole industry, from new indie studios to the media, international investors, publishers, and service providers.Unlike other event organisers, we offer the MeetToMatch meeting platform free to all main ticket delegates, so you can find that perfect contact and arrange to meet them in person in our dedicated meeting zones. Plus, there'll be post-conference networking and a few fringe events to further help put people together.Pairing Developers With Publishers And InvestorsOur fringe events are back! We'll be running curated sessions for developers, publishers and investors to connect live at the venue. These curated sessions pair mobile, PC, and console developers with publishers and investors in a series of meetings.These short, sharp encounters enable first contact for you to follow up with a longer meeting if you find a potential partner. It’s a shop window for devs to display their wares and a pipeline of prospects for anyone looking to sign up-and-coming talent.These activities require sign-up in advance because space is very limited. Once you have your ticket, look out for the application forms on the official site.And, for indie developers, there are additional specific opportunities…All About The Indies!Indie devs are the lifeblood of the games industry and PG Connects champions their work.
