Why developers should check out the BRAND NEW PC Connects Helsinki

Why developers should check out the BRAND NEW PC Connects Helsinki

The inaugural PC Connects is taking place in Helsinki in just over a month’s time and we thought we’d highlight some of the reasons why independent developers should be coming to checking out this brand new event.

The show takes place on September 19th and 20th at Wanha Satama in the Katajanokka maritime district of Helsinki, alongside Pocket Gamer Connects and XR Connects.

Over two days we will have 40-plus speakers over four tracks (more on that later!). That's not the only people who will be at the show, either. Everyone from students to CEOs, graphic designers to investors, one-man studios to massive triple-A publishers will be at the show. 

You can also rub shoulders with the Steel Media teams from the likes of PCGamesInsider.biz (sup), PocketGamer.biz and TheVirtualReport.biz, as well as our other industry-leading staff who will be at the show. 

The show also features networking capabilities, with the Pitch & Match meeting system, which free to all delegates. Attendees can also come to our Tuesday night party, as well as take part in our Big Indie Pitch events and SpeedMatch networking sessions. 

Come get involved with this BRAND NEW event! Tickets available here.
