The GamesWirtschaft calendar lists the most important trade fairs, events and conferences in the games industry in German-speaking countries.
After an excruciatingly long season in 2021 (almost) without public traffic, trade fair companies and conference organizers are planning to restart the event business again. Special feature: While some formats such as DreamHack Leipzig no longer take place, there is a whole series of completely new games festivals with innovative concepts.
