Conference Overview

About the Trade Conference

The Asia Pacific is the biggest region by game revenues, with China, Japan and South Korea leading the pack.

The region also includes the fastest-growing games market in the world —Southeast Asia (SEA).

According to a recent Newzoo Global Games Market Report, SEA’s games market will generate $4.3 billion in revenue annually, up +13.9% year-on-year. Driven by growing disposable income and internet user penetration, SEA is primed for continued growth in the next five years.

However, to navigate this high-potential market, game developers and publishers must first grasp SEA’s dynamism and diversity, where each country has its own unique culture, game preferences and spending behaviours.

gamescom asia assembles a remarkable line-up of speakers and elites in the digital gaming industry in a two-day conference to share valuable insights about navigating this exciting region and to discuss the future of gaming.

Covering 4 main tracks, DEV, BIZ & TECH, ESPORTS and INDIE, you will learn the latest in game design, marketing, next-gen technologies, esports, monetisation and funding strategies, market intelligence & research, and more. Join the discussion and be inspired to explore new horizons for your next project.
