Games Convention Online 2010
Community Zone unveiled; early-bird exhibitor discount still available (just).
It’s round two for the industry’s leading trade fair for browser, client and mobile games – and it comes with an extended concept. This year, the GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE is on in Leipzig for four days from 8 to 11 July 2010. Exhibitors still have till 28 February to secure their part in the spectator show at early-bird discount rates. The GCO is also set to be Germany’s biggest community get-together for online games.
A new feature: exhibitors present themselves in the midst of the Community Zone, so that they can be in direct contact with the communities and in the process, look after the people who play their games. Another highlight is the expansion of the GCO Planets World. This is where exhibitors can book into a predesigned futuristic theme-based world. Visitors plunge into their very own cosmos and can devote their full and undisturbed attention to the latest online and mobile games. For the exhibitor, attendance at the fair is both convenient and saves time. "With this type of presentation, we offer businesses a new concept at a fair that aims to create a direct link to the communities and new customers", says Silvana Kürschner, Strategy Director GC Global. "Time and expenditure are two important criteria, particularly for smaller companies in the online and mobile gaming industry. That’s because their main focus of attention is on swift development and an even swifter marketing of the games, something we can guarantee thanks to the high level of and, above all, unrestricted media attention surrounding the GCO", according to Kürschner.
Alongside the Consumer World which is open to visitors from 9 to 11 July, from 8 to 10 July the GCO also offers the Business Area in the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL). This is where international decision-makers from the sectors entertainment, games development, IT, telecommunications, media, marketing, advertising and consulting get together to network and to pave the way for business deals. Start-up companies are also given their place here.
