Games Convention with new visitor record

Games Convention with new visitor record

Monday, 27.08.2007

Yesterday the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany drew to a close and the hosters are happy to announce a new visitor record this year. Altogether 185,000 visitors came to the Leipzig Exhibition centre site over the course of the past four days (last year there were 183,000 visitors) to see and test the innovations displayed by 503 exhibitors. One significant point of note was the internationalisation of the fair. The share of foreign trade visitors rose to 43 percent. Also the media interest increased significantly: more than 3,300 journalists from 46 countries (last year there were 2,610 journalists from 38 countries) filed reports from the Games Convention. . 94 percent of exhibitors stated that they had achieved their fair target very well and well.

"The GC 2007 has exceeded all of our targets. A high degree of satisfaction can be seen, not only amongst exhibitors and trade visitors, but also amongst the general public. This result underscores once again why the GC, as Europe's leading fair in the industry, has an ideal home in Leipzig", said Josef Rahmen, Managing Director of the Leipziger Messe.

Apart from the good statistics of the convention it is still not clear what will happen with the Games Convention in the future. The current contract with the Leipziger Messe runs out in 2008 and the Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware (BIU) wants to decide in the following weeks, whether the contract is being extended or if the Games Convention will take place on a different location in the future.
