Germany presently does not have coronavirus restrictions in place. This is due to the improved epidemiological situation in the country. As a result, Messe Cologne will not implement strict safety measures such as the 3G entry policy.
Gamescom (Gamescom Köln) is the central platform for the global video and computer video gaming industry. It is the meeting location for gaming enthusiasts, developers, retail, and media representatives. The fair serves as the main event and hub for forming new connections.

The Gamescom Cosplay Village is among the popular sub-events for gaming enthusiasts and professionals. It is an area where attendees can showcase their acting, make-up, and crafting talents. The Village allows attendees to create costumes of their favourite characters and thus gain recognition. This is due to the Cosplay Contest, where a jury of 3 experts selects the victorious within three categories. The judges are well-known cosplayers, journalists, or make-up artists. Winners at the event can gain prizes, including award money and collector’s toys. They can furthermore receive awards such as headphones, cosplay shop vouchers and others.

Dear George,
thanks for you mail.
Everything went very well!! We have really appreciated your fast action in solving our issue to reinstate a cancelled reservation for new guests.
The only “negative” thing was that there was not possibility to have dinner in the hotel, but my team solved going out.
We will be very glad to ask for your help for future reservation.
Thank you and kind regards
