A new beginning for Cologne’s games community

The official go-ahead was given on April 8, 2024.

With the first kickoff event and GSC Connect, we laid the foundation for the Games Syndicate Cologne. Together with our founding members and supporters from the games and media industry, this day marked the transition from idea to reality. A total of over 100 guests attended attended the program at Xperion Cologne.

The association is now officially registered and ready, together with the regional games industry to grow.

As part of the kick-off, we not only defined the content direction and our guiding themes, but also developed our brand message and the visual identity of the association. The central values and goals of the syndicate were thus presented for the first time for the specialist audience tangible for the first time.

A clear starting point for the joint mission to strengthen and network Cologne as a games location in the long term.
