Five days,
one industry.

gamescom is the annual must-attend event for the international gaming and entertainment industry.

In late August, more than 350,000 visitors from over 120 countries gather at the Cologne exhibition grounds — publishers, studios, hardware manufacturers, streamers, content creators, and hundreds of thousands of fans. Over 1,500 exhibitors showcase new releases, hardware innovations, and immersive brand worlds across roughly 230,000 square metres of exhibition space.

For five days, the agenda is packed with Trade Visitor Days, Public Days, the Cosplay Village, esports tournaments, and the parallel gamescom dev conference (formerly devcom). Anyone exhibiting here represents global brands in front of a worldwide audience — and needs staff who can live up to that standard. Composed, multilingual, community-savvy, and resilient from the first hour through to the last.

200 service staff.
One trade fair.

Large-scale deployments aren't the exception for us — they're routine. In Munich, we have already coordinated 200 service staff in parallel at a single trade fair.

When an exhibitor takes over an entire hall, hosts multiple booth parties, and runs a five-day public programme at the same time, a handful of temps simply won't do. It takes a fully planned staffing operation — with shift schedules, briefings, uniforms, backup allocations, and an on-site team lead coordinating the deployment.

That's our daily business. We know how to get hundreds of people to the booth on time, fully outfitted, and properly briefed. We know the logistics of Koelnmesse, the accreditation routes, the critical peak hours during the Public Days, and the standards that demanding clients expect.
