The PocketGamer.biz RoundTables series is a new initiative, bringing to life the expert insight offered each day on the PocketGamer.biz website and introducing some of the best experts and speakers in the games industry. The free RoundTables typically run on a weekday afternoon a couple of times per month, and recent topics have covered design and implementation of security protection measures in mobile games, the new rules of in-game advertising, and pitching to publishers.
Taking place alongside Pocket Gamer Connects Digital #6, there will be several more PocketGamer.biz RoundTables (Available free on YouTube), covering topics ranging from Esports, XR/VR/AR, Next Generation Technology, Monetisation techniques and so much more! If you want to see the rest of the conference, which includes 200+ speakers delivering talks, seminars, fireside chats and panels throughout the week, you’ll need to register for a separate conference ticket. The conference includes access to our MeetToMatch meeting platform so you can arrange conversations with other attendees, experts and speakers.
But even if you don’t want to join the rest of the conference, these PocketGamer.biz RoundTables will be viewable on Friday April 23!
