New Format previews the upcoming event, its significance and the stories to follow. Details are accurate to the latest official announcements available on 6 November 2026.

London opens the industry calendar

Pocket Gamer Connects London returns on 18–19 January 2027 with a two-venue format across The Brewery and Barbican Centre. The organiser positions the conference as a meeting point for mobile, PC and console professionals, with AI, cross-media and publishing among its broader subjects.

A business event, not just a consumer show

The event highlights conference tracks, expert speakers, an exhibition and business matchmaking. That creates opportunities to understand how developers find publishing partners, market their games and secure funding.

What New Format will be watching

We will look for conversations about independent development, discoverability, monetisation, responsible uses of AI and the relationship between games, film and streaming. Interviews with developers and publishers can make technical industry issues accessible to a wider audience.

Attending and reporting

The organiser lists The Brewery on Chiswell Street and the Barbican Centre on Silk Street. Check the official registration page for ticket categories, speaker announcements and press access. Conference schedules may change.
