Innovation and gaming. Online und Leipzig. Convention and business.
A new platform for an industry all of its own: GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE
31 July – 2 August 2009, Leipzig
The gaming industry’s online and mobile developers are attracting more and more curious users, adventurers, explorers, heroes, adrenalin junkies and roleplayers into their virtual game worlds, encouraging everyone worldwide to join in.
11.5 million people already live in the legendary universe of World of Warcraft. And they’re not alone. In the course of one month, more than ten million German surfers are out and about on the online gaming sites. Online – that is the logical next step in the continuing development of the entertainment market.
Because this quite simply opens up a huge variety of possibilities and challenges.
Always different, always exciting - and doing it together.
GAMES CONVENTION ONLINE sets up a new platform for this, one that picks up on the interest in and passion for online gaming and is a meeting place for business, as well as the world’s biggest playground for gamers.

For the seventh time in succession, the GC – Games Convention ended in Leipzig on Sunday with a visitor record: over the past few days, 203.000trade visitors and game fans have flocked to the biggest European fair for interactive entertainment, infotainment, edutainment and hardware. The Leipziger Messe saw record attendances from the start of this year’s GC – Games Convention. The number of exhibitors had risen from 503 to 547, the area occupied from 112,500 to 115,000 square metres, and the Games Convention had never been as international as it was this year: 234 companies came to Leipzig from other countries, compared to 189 in 2007.
The international importance of Leipzig’s GC – Games Convention is also reflected in the media response: 3,800 journalists from 48 countries filed their reports from the games industry’s European platform (2007: 3,395 from 46 countries).
“The GC – Games Convention will be back in Leipzig again in 2009”, as Wolfgang Marzin, CEO at the Leipziger Messe GmbH, has announced on the last day of Europe’s biggest games fair. “The industry and visitors are giving us their clear support to continue with the fair in Leipzig.” He named 19 to 23 August 2009 as the dates for the next GC – Games Convention.

Normally 3d artist post your work in forums viewed from people there are in the same business. We work hard to create a place for artist to show their work the grateful public. The feedback and even the press coverage it's worth the trouble.
