Hamburg Games Conference 2022 announced!

Hamburg Games Conference will return on March 2-3, 2022, focusing on the topic "Moving Markets", featuring keynotes, panels networking, expo and more. For the first time the conference will follow a hybrid concept - online and on-site in Hamburg.

Renewal, innovations and change are central to the success of the games industry - and the world-wide pandemic gave that another considerable boost. New markets and sales channels opened up, innovative business models emerged. How does a company stay atop in that ever-changing and competitive environment? What trends do you have to watch to play a leading role in the games market of the future?

With the topic "Moving Markets" the Hamburg Games Conference 2022 aims to open up perspectives on those questions. Soon, we'll be able to announce the first highlight speakers for the conference.

For the first time, you can apply to be part of the conference line up: Apply to the Call for Speakers with your proposal!

Another first time for us: Hamburg Games Conference 2022 will be a hybrid event, merging digital and physical program. The first day will be hosted on the conference's playable digital platform, while the second day will be on-site in Hamburg's Zeise Cinemas. All talks of the main track will be broadcast to the online platform as well. There'll also be a track dedicated to Games Funding.

Sounds interesting? Then save the date for two days of inspiring talks and insights and lots of networking. Tickets are available now. Until December 10, you can get them at a discounted early bird rate of 119€ for business ticket (including the whole conference program, access to the business area and matchmakings, access to a digital matchmaking system, and additional networking events, like the traditional Gamecity Treff). Basic tickets with access to all talks, panels and selected networking events are 25€.
