Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan will return to Amman on November 7–8, bringing together developers, publishers, investors and other games industry professionals for two days of talks, networking and business opportunities.

The international games industry conference series has confirmed its return to the Jordanian capital for 2026, with this year’s event placing a particular emphasis on supporting the local development community and connecting Jordanian talent with the wider global games industry.

Organisers say Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan will combine its established conference programme with a more community-focused, festival-style environment, covering games, technology, startups, content creators and investment.

The event is set to feature multiple seminar tracks alongside interactive game showcases and dedicated areas for different parts of the games and technology ecosystem.

Among the activities planned for the November event is the Big Indie Pitch, which gives independent developers an opportunity to present their games and gain exposure to industry experts.

Connector SpeedMatch will also return, creating opportunities for developers and studios to meet publishers and investors through focused business matchmaking.

Startup and innovation activations will provide additional visibility for emerging Jordanian companies and entrepreneurs, while networking areas will give attendees opportunities to establish partnerships, collaborate and explore potential deals.

The conference comes as Jordan and the wider Middle East continue to strengthen their presence within the international games industry. Pocket Gamer Connects said the event aims to showcase Jordanian creativity and development talent while bringing an international industry audience into the local ecosystem.

Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan 2026 will welcome developers, publishers, investors, students, creators and technology partners, positioning Amman as a meeting point for the regional and international games sectors.

The event takes place in Amman, Jordan, on November 7–8, 2026. More information about the event is available through the Pocket Gamer Connects Jordan website.
