Cologne / Mülheim, 7 July 2015: Ahead of gamescom, there is another conference date in Cologne that game developers and enthusiasts will not want to miss: Respawn – Gathering of Game Developers on August 3 and 4. Apart from a professional exchange on the nuts and bolts of computer and video games, with in-depth presentations by renowned international speakers, visitors at Dock.One can look forward to a comprehensive event schedule. In addition to the business format “Pitch & Match”, the “Respawn Treasure Cave” brings together aspiring developers and investors. Ample information on working in the game industry is provided, while the “Games Music Live Jam” unites all in celebration.

Even with the expansion of the Respawn itinerary, the idea of a dynamic conference is retained. Each visitor receives a wireless headset to tune in to any of the lecture audio feeds while being able to move freely throughout the venue. Confirmed speakers include: Phil Elliott (Square Enix), Jon Hare (Tower Studios), Oscar Clark (Unity), Kristina Rothe (Microsoft), Adrian Goersch (Black Forest Games), Thomas Bedenk (Brightside Games) and many more. The program will be updated continuously on www.respawngathering.com in the run-up to the conference.

A perfect opportunity for extensive networking is offered at the “Games Music Live Jam” on August 2, the evening before the conference, at Cologne’s Harbour Club. What’s in store for everyone? Top-notch live music performed by Respawn participants and speakers! Respawn attendees hunting for work should stop by the “Looking for Jobs?” chill-out area and learn more about career options and conditions in the game industry.

Cooperation with the concurrent GDC Europe means that all Respawn tickets also admit holders to the GDC Expo Floor at ‘koelnmesse’. This year’s main sponsor is InnoGames. Tickets for Respawn starting at 69 euros are now available on www.respawngathering.com/tickets. More information is provided on www.facebook.com/RespawnGathering and www.twitter.com/respawn_conf.
