Unmissable Speakers At XR Connects London Co-located Events

XR Connects London features 38 seminars from 50 world-class speakers across two days - see our highlights here - but that’s not all...

As part of the UK’s biggest b2b games conference, we’re co-located with the mighty Pocket Gamer Connects and new for 2018, PC Connects. And your ticket to XR Connects grants you access to every single seminar across all three events. That’s an additional 200 expert speakers covering topics of interest to any developer, from monetisation, commercial contract negotiations, and pitching and networking advice to artificial intelligence, art teams, and cryptocurrency.

Here are some of the seminars and workshops from our sister events to help you get the most out of your time at the show.
