行业活动

记得先把日子空出来！一年一度在赫尔辛基举行的游戏产业大会今年将纯在线进行。游戏产业洽谈生意的理想场所——Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki Digital 和姐妹活动 Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital

在9月14日至18日的这一周中，来自世界各地的1,500多名与会者将登录并聆听250多位演讲嘉宾，分享他们在用户获取、发展、行业趋势、投资、变现、区块链等方面的专家见解。

芬兰是移动游戏的发源地，好些让人热血沸腾的公司正源起于这里，其中包括 Rovio 和 Supercell。这就是为什么领先的移动游戏品牌 Pocket Gamer，自2014年起每年都在这里举办一场商务会议。

新冠疫情的爆发波及游戏产业，许多会议都被推迟、取消或转向线上形式，Pocket Gamer Connects 亦不例外。因此，遗憾的，Pocket Gamer 活动无法亲自返回美丽的赫尔辛基市，不过可喜的是，本产业将能够通过 Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki Digital 进行线上连接。

而参加 Pocket Gamer Connects 将意味着一同参与首届线上版 Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital。这是单独的会议，探讨和鼓舞区块链游戏世界，由 BlockchainGamer.biz 网站的幕后人员呈现。

活动团队正努力为你筹备出色的节目安排。你可以期待看到包含170个环节的21个大会主题提供数百小时的内容，这些内容将通过 Zoom 播放（也可以在晚些时候按需观看）。预约演讲嘉宾超过280人，包括来自 Super Evil Megacorp、Square Enix、BANDAI NAMCO、Microsoft、Facebook、Riot Games、Sony Pictures、Entertainment、Housemarque、GAMEVIL COM2US、Ubisoft、Unity、NCSOFT、Niantic、Jam City 等的代表。

你还将可以访问 Discord 频道以及全天候的对接平台和人脉交际平台，使你可以在双方都方便的时间与世界各地的游戏产业代表交流。预计将有70%的参与者是游戏创作的直接相关者，即开发人员或发行商，此外，还将为投资者提供专门活动。

Pocket Gamer 将在那一整个星期内进行线上周边活动。当中包括宣传环节、对接环节、人脉交际环节、指导环节和有趣的研讨会，包括：

"- Investor Connector（投资者接头），供开发者结识投资者

- Publisher SpeedMatch（发行商速配），供开发者结识发行商

- Big Indie Pitch（独立游戏大赛），为小型工作室举办的比赛以宣传游戏

- Pocket Jam #5，为独立开发者举办的游戏即兴创作活动 Game Jam

- IGDA Mentor Café，供开发者接受指导

- Journalist Bar（记者吧），在这里你可以见到媒体

- Careers Week（招聘周），为求职者提供"

首席运营官 Dave Bradley 表示：“数百名专业演讲人准备好分享他们的知识和洞察，我们有信心我们筹备了游戏业中出色的在线会议。届时会有所有时区的内容安排，你也可以在自己的时间晚些再看演讲和小组讨论。加上我们的会议平台有1,500多人参加，你可以期待结识潜在的业务合作伙伴。我们喜欢赫尔辛基和芬兰游戏界，而今年能够在线举办活动意味着更多的人将能够从他们在世界各地的家庭办公室加入我们。”

Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki Digital 2020 and Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital #1 take place together

September 14-18

Save the date! The annual Helsinki based conference will be heading online-only this year. The perfect place for the games industry to do business will be Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki Digital alongside partner event Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital

Throughout the week of September 14-18, more than 1,500 attendees from all around the world will log on and hear from over 250 world-class speakers sharing their expert insight in user acquisition, development, industry trends, investment, monetisation, blockchain and more.

Finland is the spiritual home of mobile gaming, with some of the most exciting companies in the sector calling it their home, including the likes of Rovio and Supercell. That's why Pocket Gamer - the leading mobile games brand - has hosted a business conference there every year since 2014.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected the games industry, with many conferences postponed, cancelled or moving to a digital format, including Pocket Gamer Connects. So unfortunately the Pocket Gamer event won’t be able to return to the wonderful city of Helsinki in person, but the industry will be able to connect digitally with Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki Digital.

And joining Pocket Gamer Connects will be Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital #1. It's a separate conference exploring and celebrating the world of blockchain gaming, brought to you by the people behind the BlockchainGamer.biz website.

The events team is working hard to put together an amazing line-up for you. You can expect to see 21 conference tracks with 170 sessions providing hundreds of hours of content which will be streamed over Zoom (and also made available for on-demand viewing later). Over 280 speakers are booked, including top level representatives of Super Evil Megacorp, Square Enix, BANDAI NAMCO, Microsoft, Facebook, Riot Games, Sony Pictures, Entertainment, Housemarque, GAMEVIL COM2US, Ubisoft, Unity, NCSOFT, Niantic, Jam City and more.

You will also have access to a Discord channel and a 24-hour matchmaking and networking platform so you can connect with games industry representatives from around the world at a time that suits you both. It is expected that 70% of the attendees will be directly involved in the creation of games, either developers or publishers, and there will also be dedicated activities for investors.

Pocket Gamer will be running online side events throughout the week. These events include pitching, matchmaking, networking, mentoring sessions and fun seminars, including:

"- Investor Connector, for developers to meet investors

- Publisher SpeedMatch, for developers to meet publishers

- Big Indie Pitch, a competition for small studios to pitch games

- Pocket Jam #5, a game jam for indie developers

- IGDA Mentor Café, for developers to receive guidance

- Journalist Bar, where you can meet the media

- Careers Week, for jobseekers"

COO Dave Bradley says: "With hundreds of expert speakers ready to share their knowledge and insight, we are confident that we have assembled the best online conference in the games business. There will be content scheduled for all timezones, and you'll be able to watch talks and panels later in your time too. And with over 1,500 people in our meeting platform, you can expect to meet potential business partners too. We love Helsinki and the Finnish game scene, but being able to run the event online this year means that even more people will be able to join us, from their home offices around the world."

More than 27,000 industry professionals have attended the Pocket Gamer Connects internationalconference series since 2014. Since then, the roadshow has landed in the UK, Canada, USA, Finland, Hong Kong, Jordan and India with a genuinely international client base; on average, delegates from more than 45 countries attend each event – that’s risen to 68 countries since the event went online in 2020. In 2016, PG Connects became the biggest dedicated mobile games industry conference series in Europe and has stayed on top ever since. Every event has been bigger and better than the last, and since 2017 we’ve added VR/AR, PC, console and blockchain to the mix. Our Digital events in April and June smashed expectations with over 1,400 attendees. Previous speakers and delegates from all the key industry players include Supercell, King, Space Ape Games, Niantic, SYBO, Tencent, Mythical Games, Unity, Jam City, Skybound, Apple, Rovio, Disney, Super Evil Megacorp, Wargaming, Kabam, NetEase, NTT Docomo, Ubisoft, Facebook, Google, Square Enix, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Sega, Capcom, Twitter, Snapchat, Twitch, NaturalMotion, N3TWORK and many, many, many more. And because Steel Media owns and operates the leading media in this space too, including PocketGamer.com, PocketGamer.biz and PCGamesInsider.biz, our events benefit from unrivalled press coverage. A combined website readership of well over a million users a month, 300,000 engaged Twitter followers, nearly 120,000 subscribers on YouTube, all await. Our events include opportunities – like a Journalist Bar (operating in Discord for our Digital events) – where you can show writers and editors your games.
