PC Connects Digital - IGDA Finland Members get 20% off!

PG Connects Digital: The Global Games Industry Conference ONLINE! PGC Digital (April 6-10th) aims to distil the spirit of the PG Connects conferences you've come to know (and hopefully love) over the last 7 years into digital form. In practise this means we'll deliver 100+ informative speakers across 8 tracks covering everything from game design and trends to monetisation and growth (talks will be available to watch/interact live or to watch recording at a later date). There's a 24-7 digital meeting system too which syncs in with Zoom (or you can specify your own meeting tool) for audio/video calls so you can network and do business with c.750 delegates from 400+ companies. Plus we'll even have a digital version of all of your favourite fringe events (Big Indie Pitch, SpeedMatch and Investor Connector!) and a few more interesting extras too - in fact we'll have everything barring a party (stay tuned, we're working on that!)

The world may be in lockdown, but people aren't stopping playing games (quite the opposite) and the games business shouldn't stop either - so join us online to keep connecting! www.pgconnects.com/digital
