Level Up: Vancouver, British Columbia

Back for 2020, the Level Up: Vancouver, British Columbia pavilion, jointly organized by the Government of British Columbia, Creative BC and the Vancouver Economic Commission, brings together top studios from Vancouver and British Columbia to showcase and network at the PG Connects mobile and VR/AR games conference in London.

Year over year, companies return because of the business resulting from the conference = 100% satisfaction.

What to Expect at PG Connects London

Previous years’ delegates found success in the following objectives:

  • Finding new clients – companies were able to tap into PG Connects’ international business network to meet and pitch games publishers while discovering new strategic partnerships and overseas B2B connections
  • Advancing company brand and profile – studios secured speaking roles on organized panels, participated on international business networking at the VEC-organized Canada House Industry Mixer; and saw great engagement at the Level Up: Vancouver, British Columbia pavilion
  • Launching big announcements – supported by VEC’s media relations team, several delegates broke big news at the conference and secured media segments as a result
  • Following up on co-production and recruitment leads – delegates met user assurance groups for products in development, connected with UK games companies and tapping into the EU scene
  • Promoting Vancouver as one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile games clusters – by speaking with one voice to promote the cluster’s value proposition to international talent and investors while calling attention to homegrown conferences and the success of related sectors like VR/AR

Back for 2019, the Level Up: Vancouver, British Columbia pavilion, jointly organized by the Province of British Columbia and the Vancouver Economic Commission, brings together top studios from Vancouver and British Columbia to showcase and network at the PG Connects mobile and VR/AR games conference in London.

A History of Success

 
With a highly engaged series of companies from all over British Columbia making several newsworthy announcements, including the launch of a Vancouver-based $10 million fund, the Pocket Gamer Connects London 2018 (PG Connects) conference saw Vancouver and B.C. make its biggest splash yet!

Quotes from our 2019 delegates:

“Thank you for the opportunity…as a first time attendee and someone not directly in games I wasn’t sure what to expect but the connections through the VEC and the team were amazing both locally and internationally.”

“The event was packed with great attendees, it was fast and efficient with the half hour blocks for meetings. It was one of the most effective and efficient trade shows of my career.”
