More than just a series of lectures and panels

The speakers will be incredible, but they’re not the only reason to spend two days at Blockchain Gamer Connects Hong Kong 2019.

If you’re looking for an investor, a publisher, press coverage, business partner, development support, or advertising options, this is the place for you. A free online meeting system will make it easy for you to establish connections with the other attendees, and side events like an evening networking party (included free for all delegates) means you will be able to talk about the blockchain industry in an informal setting.

Blockchain Gamer Connects Hong Kong 2019 runs alongside Pocket Gamer Connects, a partner conference for those in the mobile gaming industry, and a ticket will grant you access to both shows and all 15 conference tracks.
