<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 (<a href="https://www.pgconnects.com/jordan/" title="https://www.pgconnects.com/jordan/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">links at www.pgconnects.com</a>).Our Connector SpeedMatch session pairs developers in rapid succession with publishers and investors in a series of speed 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.

PG Connects will take place by the Dead Sea. Located at the lowest point on earth, the King Hussein Bin Tala Convention Centre managed by Hilton is an incredible destination. The conference takes place over two days at this purpose-built hotel and conference location.

The journey is less than 45 minutes by car from the city and less than 60 minutes from Queen Alia International Airport.Buses will be provided for our attendees from Amman. If you live or work in the city itself, you will be able to take a free bus from King Hussein Business Park in west Amman directly to the conference at the Dead Sea. These will leave in the morning and return at the end of the day.If you are making your own way, you will find taxis and buses readily available to take you from the city or the airport directly to the resort.The venue is about three-hours' drive from Petra, a true wonder of the world. The day after the conference, we will be organising a coach trip to the historic landmark. An additional ticket is required for this.
