Taking place in Cologne August 26-28, gamescom is the one-stop-shop for any studio or gamemaker looking to broaden their network, get eyes on the project and look for deals. As gamescom is huge and caters to many audiences, we’ve crafted a programme that fits many purposes and budgets. With our partners Flanders Investment & Trade and VAF Game in the lead, we are happy to show you an array of options.
1. The Belgian booth in the Business Area
The booth is focused on B2B only. Being in the gamescom business area is great to set up meetings with publishers, press and investors and to connect with fellow devs. The booth offers three ways of participating.

- No dedicated table; timeslot reservation on site
- 1 MeetToMatch account to get that meeting schedule going

2. The Indie Arena booth in the Entertainment Area
If you want to show your game to the larger consumer crowds, you’ll be better off in the gamescom entertainment zone. If you can’t afford to set up your own B2C booth there, your best shot is to sign up for the Indie Arena Booth and choose the VAF group stand. Deadline to submit is April 13 and participation depends on the criteria VAF Game and the Indie Arena booth have stipulated.
- A booth in the gamescom B2C Entertainment area (open August 26-30)
- Booth space is free but application is subject to these criteria:
- Your game will be released within 6 to 9 months after gamescom;
- Your game has received VAF funding or has been part of the VAF Talent Development program
- You have never been part of the Indie Arena Booth before
- Your game is innovative or visually appealing
- You have a diverse team
3. devcom: join as a speaker, exhibitor or visitor
devcom is a substantial part of gamescom. Being the official game developers event of gamescom, devcom takes place August 23-25 and offers a potpourri of talks, panels, fireside chats and workshops as well as a live Twitch stream. It also hosts an Indie Expo and some high-end networking events so this might be your gateway to additional contacts. Besides visiting, we see two ways of participating:
Share your experience, submit a talk and join as a speaker (Deadline for submitting is April 5). Or, be part of the Indie Expo. Submit your game for the Indie Expo before April 30. Participation depends on the jury as they carefully select the games that can be part of the expo.
We couldn’t be happier with the lovely people at gamescom and devcom and especially with our partner Flanders Investment and Trade who will take the lead in the B2B booth and VAF Game taking care of the Indie Arena booth.
