Pocket Gamer Connects Summit San Francisco 2026 returns on March 9, bringing the global mobile games industry to GDC week!

Helping to maximize the opportunities during an intense week, the format has been streamlined into a high-impact one-day summit focused on mobile and AI — the games industry’s ‘growth engines’ for 2026. The event brings together some of the sector’s most influential senior-level decision-makers for insight-sharing and efficient, deal-driven networking.

In addition to a knowledge-boosting conference content program, main tickets include 5-day MeetToMatch functionality and our event venue even serves as a convenient meeting point, ensuring you start your week’s networking marathon in the most productive way: 715 Harrison, our new central location for 2026, is just two blocks from the Moscone Center and can be used to connect with any MeetToMatch user (even with non-PGC ticket holders).

Regularly attending companies include Tencent, Niantic, Scopely, Roblox, Playstack, Activision, Rovio, and 350+ more, all in one room.

Join 750+ mobile games industry professionals and kickstart your GDC week fully focused on learning and business – and we’re even throwing in a post-summit party to keep those relaxed connections going!
