What happens when and where at Gamescom 2024? The GamesWirtschaft calendar lists the most important events and shows.
Seven weeks before the start of Gamescom week, at least the scheduling framework is in place: For five days of the trade fair – namely from Wednesday (21.8.) to Sunday (25.8.) – the Cologne exhibition center will be entirely dedicated to computer games.
The combined trade and public fair is flanked by a colourful bouquet of conferences, parties and shows – in many cases a separate ticket and/or invitation is required.
The following overview will be filled almost daily in July and August, as new events and dates are constantly being added. We are of course always grateful for any information sent by email or comment.

We also have a separate (although still fairly empty) schedule for autograph sessions, meet & greets and appearances by influencers, YouTubers and streamers.
Further information about Gamescom 2024 (tickets, exhibitors, games, etc.) can be found daily at GamesWirtschaft.
