Pocket Gamer will be in full force at GDC Europe and Gamescom

Barcelona, San Francisco, LA, Brighton, Helsinki, and Stockholm - all lovely places, but for the purposes of the games industry they're all so last month.

The place to be - next week at least - is Cologne, where both the developer-oriented GDC Europe and the consumer-oriented Gamescom are taking place.

Cool Koln

Pocket Gamer and PocketGamer.biz will be striding the corridors in force, playing the latest games and nabbing the latest scoops.

Not only that, but we're also having one of our hugely popular Pocket Gamer industry parties on the evening of Tuesday 16th August.

It's invite-only and we're looking pretty rammed already, but if you're sufficiently outraged at not having been invited - or if you're just feeling lucky - then fire us a mail with your name, company and role

to: invitations[at]pocketgamer[dot]co[dot]uk

Alternatively, if you want to meet up and show us cool stuff during the show itself, please drop us a line:

For editorial: jon [at] pocketgamer[dot]co[dot]uk.

For business: chris[at]steelmedia[dot]co[dot]uk.
