<h1>PG Connects Helsinki Digital</h1><h2>The Global Games Industry Conference ONLINE</h2><h3>Also featuring: Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital event</h3>Monday, Sept 14 - Friday, Sept 18, 2020

Following two fantastic digital events in 2020, Pocket Gamer Connects will celebrate this year&#x27;s Helsinki edition online too!The schedule is now live! <a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/helsinki/schedule/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.pgconnects.com/helsinki/schedule</a>The need to connect and do business remains as strong as ever, despite many of us being isolated at home. We had hoped that IRL games industry networking events would return to normal as the year continues, but we&#x27;ve accepted that 2020 is going to be an unusual one all the way to the winter.So let&#x27;s keep the momentum going by squishing our traditional Helsinki edition together with our world-beating Digital editions to create <a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/helsinki/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">an online event</a> that you can join no matter where you&#x27;re working from! And while we&#x27;re about it, do join our partner event about <a href="https://www.blockchaingamer.live/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">blockchain gaming</a>. Your ticket enables access to both events, PG Connects Helsinki Digital and Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital - one mega week of conference activity.Our pledge: we will continue to work incredibly hard to distil as much of the content and spirit as we can from the traditional PG Connects events you have come to know and love over the last seven years, and hone the format so it can be as genuinely useful as possible. That means expert talks, panels and round-tables, an improved digital meeting system, digital versions of Big Indie Pitches and fringe events like Publisher SpeedMatch, a pitching event for blockchain developers, and more surprises too.

As one of an expected 1,500+ delegates, you will have access to an innovative online platform for five days in September. You&#x27;ll be able to select from a programme of great live video content full of insight and practical advice across ten themed conference tracks. We will be celebrating the best of fantastic Finland, the spiritual home of mobile gaming, but also casting the net wide to bring you the most insightful content from around the world. You can watch the tracks live or catch up on the recorded videos within your own time, and if you&#x27;re online while the speakers are performing you&#x27;ll be able to interact with them and the other viewers with questions and comments.Please find more details on the official sites (<a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/helsinki/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.pgconnects.com/helsinki</a><a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/next-event" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a> and <a href="https://www.blockchaingamer.live/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.blockchaingamer.live</a>) and through our media channels, <a href="https://www.pocketgamer.biz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PocketGamer.biz</a> and <a href="https://www.blockchaingamer.biz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BlockchainGamer.biz</a>.

On top of the talks, you&#x27;ll also be able to search and connect with other attendees, to meet, discuss, do deals and make plans using the MeetToMatch online meeting platform.

No other event puts you in touch with the entire mobile gaming industry like our Connects conferences, and this remains true of PG Connects Helsinki Digital and Blockchain Gamer LIVE! Digital.

<h2>Most of the benefits of an IRL conference!</h2>

We're not going to pretend that this online event will have all the benefits of a regular conference. There are no free drinks for a start (although you could crack open a bottle at home), no booths to wander or cool freebies to pocket, you obviously don't get the thrill of visiting a great Finnish city (unless you already live there, in which case: sorry we won't get to quaff lonkero with you this year) and generally there’ll be less of those incidental catch-ups and spontaneous meetings that often make the whole thing worthwhile.We're also not going to pretend we'll get everything faultlessly perfect, there's a lot of tech platforms involved and we're evolving our approach all the time. But we know that you understand all that, you're in the games business, right? Everything is a work in progress, even after it's released! We also feel sure that you'll lend us your patience, trust and support to try and pull off something that can genuinely help us all stay connected, doing business and having fun through these challenging times.

<h2>Established International Audience</h2>

More than 27,000 industry professionals have attended the Connects international conference 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. With the advent of the Digital conference, we have seen this number grow! There were 68 countries represented at our June online event, and in 2020 we know that over 70% of our audience works in game creation/publishing.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 <a href="https://www.pocketgamer.biz/news/73647/pocket-gamer-connects-digital-2-smashes-its-debut-records-with-over-1400-attendees-from-68-countries/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">smashed expectations</a> with over 1,400 attendees.
