Every year, the gamescom congress brings together experts from business, culture, education, politics, science, the media and the games industry. The conference on the potential of computer and video games for society and the economy highlights how gaming technologies foster innovation and drive digitalization in virtually all areas of society.

"Games have immense technological, economic and social significance. That’s why we’re thrilled to have earned the trust of gamescom congress, an event that brings all these aspects together. Our goal is to raise the profile of this role even further and make it accessible to a broad audience," said Daniel Impertro, founder of Sunday.

The gamescom congress takes place annually as part of gamescom in Cologne on 27 August 2026 (as always, on a Thursday). The conference is organized by Koelnmesse GmbH and game - the German Games Industry Association.
