Socialpoint's CEO Joins the Spotlight at PGC Barcelona

Expect over 1,000 attendees as industry professionals gather to dissect the current landscape of mobile, PC, console, and even the rising tide of AI and HTML5 gaming—all under Barcelona’s vibrant cultural scene. Socialpoint, a part of Zynga since its acquisition by Take-Two for a cool $250 million in 2017, has made its mark with titles like Dragon City and Monster Legends. This makes Zaguirre’s insights particularly juicy, given his nearly 12 years of experience at the company.

Zaguirre won’t be alone on stage; he’ll be joined by other industry heavyweights including Hadrian Semroud from Madbox and Joan Francesc Bañó, the executive director of GameBCN. Together, they’ll explore where the growth opportunities lie, who’s thriving, who might be floundering, and what the future could hold for Spain’s gaming ecosystem.

Last year’s PGC Barcelona was a smashing success, and this year promises to build on that momentum. The event is not just about listening to panels; it’s a prime networking opportunity to connect with potential investors and publishing partners. Plus, attendees can soak up knowledge from a multi-track program covering all aspects of the gaming sector.

Barcelona is quickly becoming a hotspot for both established and emerging game companies, boasting offices from big names like Scopely, King, Rovio, Bandai Namco, and of course, Socialpoint/Zynga. With a wave of indie titles surfacing, the city is fertile ground for innovation and collaboration.
