GamesIndustry.biz enters Primary Media Partner deal with Nordic Game 2007

Brighton, England, February 15, 2005: GamesIndustry.biz - a Eurogamer Network publication - has entered into an agreement with Nordic Game to become the Primary Media Partner for its 2007 event, to be held on May 15-16 in Malmö, Sweden.

Now in its fourth year, Nordic Game cemented itself as the major games trade show in the Scandinavian region last year with keynotes from Q Entertainment boss Tetsuya Mizuguchi and talks from major developers and publishers such as EA, Ubisoft, IO Interactive and CCP, among many others.

Nordic Game 2007 will feature appearances from SingStar developer SCEE's London Studio, Guitar Hero developer Harmonix Studios, ICO and LocoRoco developer Tsutomu Kouno, Vib Ribbon and PaRappa the Rapper developer Masaya Matsuura, and many more.

As Primary Media Partner for Nordic Game 2007, GamesIndustry.biz will provide an extensive range of editorial and marketing support for the event.

"We're delighted to have this deal in place with Nordic Game," said Eurogamer Network's Business Development Manager Patrick Garratt. "The speaker line-up for May this year is already looking fantastic, and we're very proud to be so closely partnered with the burgeoning industry in the Nordic region. Anyone looking to get ahead in the highly exciting games markets of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the rest of the Nordic countries simply cannot afford to miss Nordic Game 2007."

"To have Europe's leading games news and information organisation supporting Nordic Game 2007 is of tremendous value to us," said Nordic Game's Press Manager, Jacob Riis. "Our goal is not only to produce the best possible event for the Nordic region, but also to attract the international games community. Our media partnership with Eurogamer Network is a major step towards connecting with the global industry."
