International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Partners with Multi-Award-Winning Video Game PR and Marketing Agency ÜberStrategist for their gamescom 2023 Presence

This Partnership Introduces the Agency’s Inaugural Effort to Unlock an Affordable and Fully-Managed Means for Developers of All Sizes to Showcase Their Projects and Network with Consumers and Partners at Europe’s Largest Video Game Trade Show


CARY, N.C., June 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ÜberStrategist, a multi-award-winning public relations and full-service marketing agency serving global video game, entertainment, and technology clients, announced today that it has partnered with the International Game Developers Association (IGDA), the largest nonprofit membership organization serving game developers worldwide, to organize the trade body’s official presence at gamescom 2023, to be hosted in Cologne, Germany from August 23 - 27, 2023.

Spearheaded by Alexa Turness — ÜberStrategist’s in-house events manager and ten-year veteran at Ukie, the United Kingdom’s association to advance the interactive entertainment industry — the agency will coordinate the IGDA’s presence in both the business and consumer areas of gamescom 2023. IGDA’s members and ÜberStrategist’s partners will have the flexibility to choose to have a presence in either the business hall, the consumer hall, or both.

Creatively named and meticulously organized, ÜberStrategist’s Business Pavilion (B2B) and Demo Dome (B2C) will be key destinations for gamescom 2023 attendees walking the halls of Koelnmesse looking to discover the immense talent on offer from IGDA’s members and ÜberStrategist’s partners.

ÜberStrategist’s Business Pavilion in Hall 3.2 of the business area will be jointly branded and designated, in part, for IGDA Executive Director Dr. Jakin Vela and his team to hold meetings and educate attendees and potential partners on the association’s mission. Business Pavilion exhibitor booths will be accessible by industry professionals and press for by-appointment meetings and walk-in greetings. ÜberStrategist’s Demo Dome in Hall 10.1 of the consumer area will empower studios and independent developers of all sizes to exhibit at gamescom through an affordable, professionally managed, and fully staffed turn-key solution.

By providing everything from gaming PC demo stations to refreshments, ÜberStrategist gives exhibiting studios a cost-effective and hassle-free way to showcase their games, meet with publishers, and conduct business during Europe’s largest video game tradeshow. As part of the partnership, current IDGA members will receive an additional discounted rate to exhibit and participate in one or both of the pavilions.

"The IGDA is thrilled to be partnering with ÜberStrategist for gamescom 2023, one of the most important events on our calendar,” said Dr. Jakin Vela, Executive Director of the International Game Developers Association. “The IGDA is committed to ensuring that our members and the industry have access to shows such as gamescom, and thanks to ÜberStrategist’s hassle-free exhibitor package, we feel confident and comfortable knowing that all the hard work will be taken care of, so exhibitors can turn up and have a productive and successful show."

“Part of our vision has always been to empower and work with studios of all sizes, which is why our offering includes indie-friendly services and frequent work with non-profits that enhance our rich and diverse industry,” said ÜberStrategist CEO Mario R. Kroll. “The IGDA has been a leading advocate for creators of games and the gaming community at large, and it is our honor to be able to support the association and its member by facilitating their affordable and hassle-free participation at Europe’s largest video game tradeshow. ”
