Hamburg Games Conference 2021 talks discoverability in games and kicks off the B2B year with the latest in online convention technology

One of the few B2B events which physically took place in 2020 was the Hamburg Games Conference, a conference which in the last ten years gathered the leaders and opinion makers in the games and media industry together.

The overarching topic 2021 of the conference is “Discoverability”. For a lot of developers and publishers it is challenging to find their audience in a world without any physical events but, with more distribution models, online platforms and stores than ever. At the same time, companies faced the challenge of how to find and onboard new employees without personal contact.

From March 16-17, 2021, the Hamburg Games Conference offers a fully digital interactive multiplayer experience and selected expert online streams. Business attendees, founders and students from around the world will be able to explore the conference with their digital avatars, visit digital exhibitor booths and engage in matchmaking via integrated video chats!
