Games Ground
Games Ground Berlin 2024 is just around the corner! This year, two full days will be dedicated to the gaming industry, followed by a day for the community. The historic halls of the Alte Münze will once again serve as the venue for the creative gaming festival. An additional room will also be added to the event's exhibition area in order to offer visitors a wider range of content and activities. The project is funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
The team behind Games Ground is committed to continuing to promote gaming culture in Berlin and create space for progress. The successful launch of the project last year encouraged the team to dedicate themselves to this goal in the future and to plan further events in the form of side projects to support the industry. The curation and organisation of the ‘Indie Ground’ at CAGGTUS Leipzig 2024 kicked things off in this field.
