Clients’ Voices

Christian Tillmann

Execute Assistant, Upright Games

It was a huge relief that Home of Indies managed all the organizational details, allowing us to focus fully on promoting our game, networking, and engaging with players

Maik Reichelt

CEO, ByteRockers

Being able to rely on people is almost more important than anything else nowadays – and Home of Indies is simply outstanding at that.

The commitment and reliability of Home of Indies far exceed what we are accustomed to.

Luca Lorenz

Business & Operations, StickyStoneStudio

We have been regular exhibitors at Gamescom since 2019 and satisfied exhibitors at Factory-C and Home of Indies since 2022.

Christiane and the whole Factory-C team always take care of the studios’ problems professionally and provide great support that goes beyond normal agency service. We are delighted to be part of HoI again this year.

Jesús Fabre

Digital PR, BlitWorks

Having a booth at “Home of Indies” at Gamescom 2023 was a fantastic way to connect our titles with our audience and reach a new public!

The “Home of Indies” team has decades of experience at preparing international events and it shows as they pay a lot of attention to every detail and needs we had as exhibitors.

FAQ

Is there a designated exhibitor lounge or networking area?

We have a lounge specifically designated for our Indie Area, which isn’t accessible to the general public. Additionally, there’s a dedicated meeting space in hall 2.2 for fostering business relations and networking. If you’re interested, you have the option to purchase a table with your own branding, separate from your booth. Let’s discuss the details further if this offer interests you.

What exact promotion will we have as exhibitors?

Being listed in the exhibitor catalogue is included as a service; however, promotion is not part of the standard offer. If you require additional promotion, you can arrange it through Koelnmesse for an extra fee.

Can you connect us with well known Gaming Influencers? What are the prices?

Certainly, that’s absolutely possible. Let’s talk to explore what might be the best fit for you and your company.
