The Very Big Indie Pitch at Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan 2024

The Big Indie Pitch is back on the road, and next up is our return to Jordan. Of course, the return of Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan also means the return of our bumper Very Big Indie Pitch.

Taking place within Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan 2024, this unique speed dating format gives each developer five minutes (including Q&A) with each panel of experts, meaning all 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 network of websites (such as Pocket Gamer and PC Games Insider), 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.

What? How? Who?

How it’ll work couldn’t be simpler. We’re inviting indie developers of all shapes and sizes along in order to pitch their games to our teams of tame industry experts, publishers, developers and media.

Approximately 15 teams will run the gauntlet, giving their all in quickfire 5-minute pitches to demonstrate that their title is worthy of the Big Indie Pitch crown and coverage in the games media.
