gamescom is the largest trade fair and event highlight for interactive games and entertainment. It is held annually since 2009 in the media and event city Cologne, Germany. The conceptual fundaments of gamescom consist of an efficient and comfortable business area, an entertainment area for the ultimate gaming experience and the gamescom festival in the centre of Cologne to attract new target groups. In addition, the Game Developers Conference Europe (GDCE) takes place in the direct run up to gamescom. As the only event of its kind, gamescom links the entire value-added chain, from developers, publishers and the trade all the way down to consumers, while stimulating discussion forums at every level. The entire games world will present itself to the public at gamescom. It is the leading B2B and B2C trade fair in Europe and beyond. In 2013 hundreds of world- and European premieres and innovations in games software and important hardware news are expected to be shown in Cologne. Celebrate the games with us.
