In education, industry, healthcare or social coexistence - games and game technologies enrich our lives on the most diverse levels. The gamescom congress shows these diverse potentials and is therefore unique in Europe. With around 800 guests on site in Cologne and more than 140,000 users in the live stream, last year's congress inspired more people than ever before. The gamescom congress is aimed at experts from a wide range of business sectors as well as from culture, education, politics, science, journalism and game development.
Current research projects or practical examples in which games make a difference are suitable for submitting topic proposals. The topics can be broad and provide answers to the following questions, for example:
- What influence does game development have on artificial intelligence?
- What potential does artificial intelligence with games open up for other areas of life?
- How can games promote learning?
- How do industry and small and medium-sized businesses benefit from games technologies?
- What opportunities do games offer in the healthcare sector?

The congress will take place on August 24, 2023, as part of gamescom, the world's largest event for computer and video games and Europe's leading business platform for the games industry. The gamescom congress is organized by Koelnmesse GmbH and game - Association of the German Games Industry. The conference is sponsored by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
