Market leaders initiate the industry’s own platform as a combination offline/online event
From 31 July to 2 August 2009, Leipziger Messe presents a new games fair. Headlined GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE, it is the first independent platform in Europe for what is currently the most dynamic market in the gaming industry: browser, client and mobile games. The new gaming trade show is supported by market leaders in the online industry such as BIGPOINT and GAMEFORGE.
Carsten van Husen, CEO at GAMEFORGE 4D, emphasises the need for the industry to have its own platform: “The size achieved and the dynamics for growth in the market for online games really cry out for a strong fair – in Europe too. Given our domestic industry’s leading world role for this segment, Germany is predestined to serve as the location.” GAMEFORGE is the biggest independent provider of online games worldwide. More than 65 million gamers are registered for GAMEFORGE games which are on offer in 50 languages.
Nils-Holger Henning, CCO at BIGPOINT: “We are very pleased with the recognition shown to the games industry with two big and important fairs in Germany. We very much welcome the fact that with the GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE, Leipzig is now offering a trade show for online and casual gaming. This confirms that as an entertainment branch worth taking seriously, online gaming has an important role to play within the overall game industry. In the area of online and casual gaming, there is a big need for interchange, as shown by the internationally established trade fairs. The topics are precisely aligned to our needs, and in both the consumer and business area we can appeal to a public that is specifically interested in online gaming. Exchange within the industry, contacts with small, dedicated developers and the technical subject-matter dealt with at the GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE will contribute to strengthening and driving forward the online and mobile gaming industry.” BIGP OINT is one of the 200 biggest websites and the biggest game portal for browser-based online gaming worldwide. The Hamburg company is growing daily with more than 150 thousand registrations in 30 languages.
Wolfgang Marzin, CEO, Leipziger Messe, sums up the excellent starting-point for the GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE. “Worldwide, Leipzig means games”, he says, referring to the high profile enjoyed by the “Games Convention” brand. “The GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE provides an independent platform of its own for the most dynamic growth market in the gaming industry.” The rapid spread of browser, client and mobile games was the basis for rapid development of the industry’s new trade fair. “On the Asian market, a third of the population already regularly plays online games. In Germany too, the final barriers are being broken down with the rapid spread of fast broadband connections and mobile wireless connection standards.”
