Pocket Gamer Connects London 2027
The games industry's January B2B fixture runs on 18 and 19 January 2027 across two City of London venues, The Brewery and the Barbican Centre.
Pocket Gamer Connects London is the games industry's traditional January meeting point, and the 2027 edition takes place on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 January at two venues in the City of London: The Brewery on Chiswell Street and the nearby Barbican Centre.
This is a B2B conference rather than a consumer expo. The room is made up of developers, publishers, platform holders, investors, tooling and service providers, and marketing and user-acquisition teams. PGC grew out of the mobile and free-to-play side of the business and still leans that way, but recent editions have widened into PC, console and cross-platform topics. The format combines conference tracks with an exhibition area and a structured meeting system - for most studios the scheduled one-to-one meetings, not the talks, are the reason to buy a ticket.
For studios from Croatia and the region, mid-January in London is a practical slot to line up publisher, funding and platform conversations before the spring conference season. It is also a short, cheap trip compared with the bigger US shows.
Track listings, speaker announcements and registration tiers are published on pgconnects.com/london; pricing rises in stages, so check the official page before booking.
