Don't be big to start, start to get big - Tony Markov from FastSpring
1We spoke to Tony Markov from FastSpring at Pocket Gamer Connects Barcelons 2025.
Drawing over 1,000 attendees from 47 countries (across five continents) and representing more than 520 companies, the two-day event transformed the magnificent Catalan capital into a vibrant epicentre of positive games industry networking, conference talks, and business meets.
With its dynamic blend of industry leaders, indies, monetisation and UA experts, tool-makers, platforms, developers, publishers, and others from across the global ecosystem, PG Connects Barcelona 2025 perfectly embodied the ‘games industry family feel’ the PGC conferences are renowned for.
The impressive global reach highlighted the ability to unite a diverse community of international professionals and stakeholders with a strong regional ecosystem – with 51% of attendees from Spain. The fact that around 30% were based in and around Barcelona showcased the city’s prominence as a rapidly emerging, major games industry hub.
