Games Market Europe has been announced and will take place at London’s Business Design Centre on August 31st and September 1st 2005. The event is a collaboration between Barrington Harvey and Tandem Events, and is welcome news to members of the industry after ECTS and GameStars were both cancelled.
“After the confusion of the last couple of years, the games market has been asking for a single, focused, no-nonsense trade event – Games Market Europe is this event,” says Andy Lane, event director. “It delivers on every front: it provides the right environment for business and networking, it’s in the right place and it’s the right price.”
“We wanted to build an event that is inclusive for all sectors of the industry, which is why entry is free to all pre-registered trade attendees and exhibitor packages are priced far below previous events, with a uniform approach to booth sizes doing away with the need for high additional event costs.”
“The UK is the home of the games business in Europe and we believe it is essential that we deliver the right event in the UK, this year.”
Lane added: “The feedback has been tremendous and indeed we sold 10 per cent of the event before we had a floor plan. I’m looking forward to growing Games Market Europe into the continent’s de facto games exhibition and showcase.”
Games Market Europe will take place on August 31st and September 1st 2005, at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London, UK. We’ll bring you news on confirmed exhibitors as they are announced.
