120 speakers will be at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki on September 11th and 12th ready to deliver talks on the hottest topics in the industry.

While below only represents a fraction of the huge number of smart people at the show, we have picked out five talks that are set to provide great insights into the games space.

There are always many interesting topics and talks and shows, but it’s the ones that offer meaningful insights that attendees can then learn from and implement in their own work that are the best sessions. The five below or just some of the sessions that I think will deliver on that.

So below are five Editor’s Picks for PGC, which you can still register for here.
