BIP @ Gamescom
About: Hot off the heels of our amazing return to live in-person pitching at recent Pocket Gamer Connects events we are back on the road and this time we’re heading to Gamescom in Koln for the first time since 2019, as we host our combined mobile & PC+Console Big Indie Pitch at Gamescom 2022.

Taking place live in Koln, our unique speed dating format gives each developer 5 minutes (including Q&A) with each room of expert judges, meaning entrants will get feedback in real-time and post-event via email too. Think speed-dating for developers and experts, and you get the idea.

That’s not all though, as the top three will also be interviewed and get editorial coverage across Steel Media’s range of websites, making this a great chance to get you, your studio and your game played by the world. There are also free tickets and event space at a future Pocket Gamer Connects up for grabs to the winner too.

Date: Wed, 24 August 2022
Time: 5pm – 8pm
Location: Hyatt Regency Cologne
Kennedy-Ufer 2A
