Home of Indies is returning to gamescom for the fifth time this year, introducing an expanded stand concept. For the first time, developer studios can choose from four booth sizes: Mini (€1,999), Basic (€3,499), Big (€5,499) and Xtra Big (€11,499).

Christiane Gehrke, Senior Event Communication & Sales Manager at Factory-C and the initiator behind Home of Indies, says: "With Home of Indies, we once again create a home for indie studios from around the globe, and a space that increases visibility while bringing developers and the community together."

The exhibition stand features dedicated showcase areas, a stage for talks and networking opportunities, and is located in the Indie Area of Hall 10.2, spanning a total of 440 square metres. The stand concept is complemented by the Home Stage, where visitors can attend talks and panels focusing on the gaming industry and the indie scene. Other features of Home of Indies include a streaming booth showcasing indie titles and a meeting area for business appointments, which can be booked separately via the Games Industry Business Lounge (GIBL) in Hall 2.2.

To coincide with the start of this year's booking phase, Factory-C has appointed industry expert Tom Achsel, co-founder of the Berlin gaming festival Games Ground, to provide additional support.
