🎮Gamescom Day 2 isn't just about the spectacle of gaming - WMG International (adWMG) booth: 4.1, A, 010 🚀
It is also a significant day for the business side of the industry. The event served as a major networking hub for developers, publishers, investors, and other key players in the gaming world.
👉 The business area of gamescom which is typically more reserved compared to the public show floor, was buzzing with activity as industry professionals engaged in meetings, negotiations, and deal-making. Major publishers used the day to hold closed-door sessions with press and potential partners, unveiling exclusive content and discussing future collaborations 🤝. This area is also a prime location for developers to pitch their projects to potential investors, securing funding and partnerships that could bring their visions to life.
