gamescom dev
gamescom dev is Europe’s leading game developer event, the official developer conference of gamescom, and one of the most important global platforms for developers, publishers, and industry professionals.
Throughout the year, gamescom dev provides a space for meaningful exchange, knowledge sharing, and collaboration — always guided by the values of diversity, inclusion, and sustainability.
From devcom to gamescom dev
First launched in 2017 under the name devcom, the conference was created to cater for the needs of the games industry and offer a dedicated developer platform alongside gamescom, the world’s largest games event. What started as an umbrella for several development-focused events quickly grew into a full-scale, year-round experience built around game development, publishing, networking, and community building.
In 2025, devcom officially became gamescom dev — a name that reflects its close connection to gamescom and its evolution into a central meeting point for the international games industry. The mission remains the same: to bring together professionals and decision-makers and provide them with the insights, opportunities, and visibility they need to succeed.
