Gamescom 2024 will be in a live format. The fair will be available at the Koelnmesse. The hosting dates for the event are the 21st to the 25th of August 2024. 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. It furthermore provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about new games. Founded in 2009, Gamescom occurs annually in Messe Cologne.
Gamescom is a high-profile and high-attendance event. For example, one edition received 1 037 exhibitor firms and 370 000 visitants. Attendants of the event include members of the IT and computer and video games sectors. Additionally, the fair attracts many media and education representatives. Over 110 countries send delegates to the trade show. Such include Germany, the USA, the UK, Turkey, and Brazil. France, India, the Netherlands, Austria, and Poland also send trade delegates.
One of the leading sub-events in Gamescom’s schedule is the exhibition. It features the latest products and innovations in electronic entertainment. Among them are products related to software and hardware, merchandise and gaming accessories.

Another event of interest is the Retro Area. It is a demonstration zone where attendees can explore popular retro classics. They can also find new games for their retro console. The area, furthermore, is the hosting area for various interviews, demonstrations, and others.
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.
Gaming developers can also gain recognition through the exhibition and the Gamescom Award. Gamescom Award recognises developer achievements in 1 of 24 categories. Each winner receives careful consideration from a panel of gaming experts. The Gamescom Award additionally has divisions where the community can choose the winners.
Another event of interest is the Gamescom Congress. It is where professionals discuss computer and video game potential. The Congress focuses on subjects like how game technologies can help the economy. The Congress is the meeting location for creative artists, teachers, and politicians. Journalists, scientists, and industry representatives also attend the Congress. Gamescom also features the Developer Conference Devcom. This is a conference for game developers where they can discuss various topics. Such include game development, technology, tools, art, animations, and diversity.
