The best way to experience the thrill of gaming is to visit gamescom in person. With this in mind, Koelnmesse and TaKeTV organised a side event for the first time last year, aimed at non-gaming brands, agencies and decision-makers from outside the industry. Now, ‘gamescom across industries’ – as the side event is called – is set to return.

 As TaKeTV Managing Director Dennis Gehlen announced on LinkedIn, gamescom across industries is scheduled for 27 August this year – the Thursday of the trade fair – from 2 pm to 5 pm. The programme will feature a mix of informative panels and guided tours in small groups to provide exclusive insights.

TaKeTV is not only a close partner of Koelnmesse at gamescom across industries. The Krefeld-based company is organising gamescom lan in collaboration with MYI; the event will take place for the third time from 19 to 21 February 2027.
