<h2>Celebrating Jordan's ever-increasing development talent</h2>

Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan arrives packed with our trademark short, sharp seminars and panels, plus a fully revised event programme designed to support and celebrate the talent that is driving the regional games industry forward.Amman is conveniently and strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia to be the gateway for the creative wave that is powering Jordan's games industry and the wider digital tranformation throughout MENA.Abdali Boulevard, our venue, is a stunning $300 million modern mixed-use development that both houses and fosters creative industries, and is renowned for its vibrant pedestrian promenade and lively ambience. And our conference is the place to get games industry business done.Discover and directly connect with the domestic digital landscape, absorb key trends, boost your network, and immerse yourself in both the regional and international games sector.Across 10 packed conference tracks, our international speakers will share their insight on everything from studio basics to user acquisition, esports to investment knowhow, dev case studies to disruptive technologies, and beyond.But that's just the track programme…

Small, independent developers are the lifeblood of the games industry, directly responsible for Jordan's games industry rapid evolution, and PG Connects champions their work.Are you part of an indie team or a new studio just starting out? You are very welcome here. We'll have a dedicated expo area for established studios and newcomers alike to display their talent to a regional and international industry audience. This is a vibrant and varied expo area for publishers looking to sign promising titles or investors interested in backing their next venture.And, of course, our hugely popular Big Indie Pitch will be back with indie devs competing to impress a panel of expert judges. The participants receive essential feedback from industry professionals and the winners walk away with prizes and editorial coverage opportunities.

<h2>Developers: meet publishers and investors</h2>

As always, there will be fringe activities in side rooms to help with the networking. We know it can be daunting to work out who to connect with. So we have a few privately curated activities where we will hand-pick people for you to meet. Spaces are limited so you must apply in advance (links at <a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/jordan/" title="https://www.pgconnects.com/jordan/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">pgconnects.com/jordan</a>).Our <a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/jordan/connector-speedmatch/" title="https://www.pgconnects.com/jordan/connector-speedmatch/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Connector SpeedMatch</a> session pairs developers in rapid succession with publishers and/or investors in a series of rapid meetings. These short, sharp encounters enable first contact for you to follow up with a longer meeting if you find a potential partner. It’s a shop window for devs to display their wares and a pipeline of prospects for anyone looking to sign up-and-coming talent.
