Big Screen Gaming Summit Makes a Comeback at PG Connects Helsinki This Year

Gotta be honest, writing about gaming conferences feels like trying to explain why cats land on their feet—somewhat mystical, right? Anyway, here we go. PG Connects, yeah, traditionally it’s all about mobile gaming. But who sticks to one thing forever? Not them! They’re going big, like REALLY big, with this Big Screen Gaming Summit thing in Finland. So, if you’ve got one ticket, congrats, you’re actually hitting two events. Sweet deal!

Picture this: console, PC, XR, web3—all those buzzwords tossed into a melting pot of discussions and connections. It’s like cooking a stew where the flavors are all over the place but somehow blend. They’re diving into cutting-edge tech, insights from developers, and all sorts of strategies. You might find yourself asking, “Wait, what was that about?” mid-sentence. But isn’t that just life?

Whether you’re an old hand at game development or just a mobile game studio pondering your next big leap, this summit’s gonna twist your brain in the best way. Talking collaborations, inspirations, maybe even sparking a light bulb moment—yep, it’s all there. I mean, how fascinating is the universe of games?

Oh, PG Connects Helsinki! Old friends! Been chillin’ in Finland since 2014—hardly seems like it’s been that long, right? Back to Europe’s game-dev hotspot and those lovely locals who seem to smile like it’s their default mode (no complaints there). Veterans or newbies, tickets are shouting your name and can you believe it? Prices kick off at a mere €166 for full conference passes. Basically, like saving up €620 for your favorite game console or something. Unless, you know, you’re a student or get concessions.

Over 200 speakers (yes, that’s a lot of talking) across 14 tracks. We’re talking 1,500+ delegates doing the networking thing like pros. Dive into a crowd that’s got everyone from first-day-on-the-job newbies to big-name execs tossing around brand names like candy.

So, are you in for October at what they’re calling their cheapest ticket rate? I mean, the tickets are basically begging you to grab them from the event website. Just saying.
