Unlike other game conventions around the world, the Games Convention (GC), the biggest show in Europe, expects an increase in attendance at this year’s event in Leipzig, Germany. They expect over 200,000 visitors this year and at least 410 exhibitors representing 26 nations for the event. This will be it’s 6th year in operation as the annual GC event kicks off on August 23, 2007 and runs through August 26, 2007. I look forward to finding out what new information we’ll find from this next month.
The Games Convention (GC), Europe’s top video-games trade fair, forecast Friday a fresh boost in visitor numbers when the broad-audience event takes place next month in Leipzig, Germany.
GC has rejected the radical downsizing at its U.S. counterpart, E3 on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Only 3,000 carefully selected industry insiders were allowed in to the E3 trade show earlier this month.
In Leipzig, a city in formerly communist eastern Germany which has been enthralled by the razzle-dazzle of gaming, more than 200,000 trade visitors and enthusiasts are expected this year after 183,000 a year ago.
