We’re excited to share that Global Game Jam is officially partnering with Pocket Gamer Connects (PGC) as a Community Partner!

GGJ and Pocket Gamer Connects have worked together on different events in the past, but this new, wider Community Partnership means we can now bring even more value to our community members and developers. Through this collaboration, the GGJ community will gain unique access to the networking, insights, and opportunities that PGC’s world-class events are known for. With GGJ’s and PGC’s aligned mission to grow and support game development communities around the world, this partnership feels like a natural next step. Thank you to PGC for this collaboration and continued support of developers everywhere!

For those unfamiliar, Pocket Gamer Connects is a leading international B2B conference series for the global games industry. Since its launch in 2014, it has grown into one of Europe’s premier games events, with a diverse program spanning mobile, PC, console, XR, web3, and AI. Each event brings together developers, publishers, investors, and industry professionals through inspiring talks, matchmaking, pitching opportunities, and more.

As part of our partnership, PGC is offering the GGJ community exclusive discounts for all their global events. First up: PGC Helsinki, October 7–8, 2025! Book your tickets now and enjoy 20% off with the code GGJHSK20 👉 Register here.

And there’s more! Any indie developer who uses our discount code when registering will also be entered into a raffle to win a free showcase table at the event to demo their game to publishers, investors, and the wider industry.

Thanks to PGC and this exciting, expanded, year-round partnership, GGJ will also have a few free passes to distribute for each PGC event. These will go to some of our most engaged and involved volunteers, indie studios, and community members, as a small way of recognizing everything they do to make GGJ possible and wonderful.

We look forward to seeing our community connect, learn, and grow at PGC events around the world.
