Gamescom (stylized as gamescom) is a trade fair for video games held annually at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Gamescom is the world's largest gaming event (measured by exhibition space and number of visitors), with 370,000 visitors and 1037 exhibitors from 56 countries attending the event in 2018.[3] The event is used by many video game developers to exhibit upcoming games and game-related hardware.[4][5][6][7]
Alongside the public areas, there is also a closed area for professional visitors, such as publishers, journalists and developers.[8]
Shortly before Gamescom, the associated conference Devcom takes place at the same area and is specifically for the game development sector.[9]
