The inaugural Gamevention festival, scheduled for November 22–24, 2019, at the Hamburg Messe + Congress, serves as a new platform for the gaming, community, and eSports sectors. The event aims to foster professional connections and community building, featuring a mix of stage events, workshops, meet-and-greets, and an exhibition hall showcasing game publishers, developers, and independent titles.
A primary objective of the festival is to facilitate interregional networking, specifically targeting participants from the Baltic-Nordic region, Poland, the Netherlands, and the DACH countries. The event designates the opening day, Friday, as the official business and networking session, providing structured opportunities for industry professionals to engage through panel discussions and matchmaking sessions.
To encourage local participation, companies based in the Hamburg metropolitan area are eligible for a 20 percent discount on all associated costs, including exhibition booths, indie booths, and sponsorship packages. Interested organizations can access this incentive by utilizing a specific discount code during the registration process on the event’s official website.
