Socialpoint's Ivan Zaguirre to Headline PGC Barcelona Next Month
Mark your calendars for June 15th and 16th because Pocket Gamer Connects Barcelona is back in action, and it’s expected to draw over 1,000 attendees. Among the star-studded lineup, Socialpoint’s head honcho, Ivan Zaguirre, will take the stage to discuss the state of Spain's gaming industry.
Socialpoint isn’t just any mobile game studio; it’s one of Spain's shining gems in the global gaming landscape. Having been acquired by Take-Two Interactive for a whopping $250 million back in 2017, this Zynga affiliate has given us hits like Dragon City and Monster Legends. Ivan, who has been steering the Socialpoint ship for nearly 12 years, will be part of the panel titled "Spanish Industry Health Check: Trends, Opportunities and Challenges."
This panel promises to be a goldmine of insights, as experts from across Spain’s gaming ecosystem gather to dissect the current state of the industry. They'll explore where the growth is happening, identify stagnation, and analyze who’s thriving and who’s simply surviving. Joining Zaguirre on stage will be Madbox’s design director Hadrian Semroud, GameBCN’s executive director Joan Francesc Bañó, and possibly a few surprise guests yet to be announced.
PGC Barcelona is making its return after a stellar debut last year, and it’s set to be a significant gathering for the mobile, PC, console, AI, and HTML5 gaming sectors. With Barcelona becoming a hotbed for game developers — think Scopely, King, Rovio, Bandai Namco, and more — this event is your chance to connect with industry peers, scout for investment opportunities, and soak up knowledge from leading figures in the field.
