More than 70,000 consumers attended the first Game Convention Asia last week, getting hands-on with games from over 80 exhibitors including Sony, EA, Nintendo, Konami and Nokia.
The expo featured consumer access to new and unreleased games, as well as dedicated business sessions attended by over 300 industry professionals.
"The expo proved that a show integrating both consumer access and business services was not only wanted, but necessary in the Asia-Pacific region," commented Edward Liu, MD of Conference and Exhibition Management.
Over 190 games were on show at the exhibition, which took place at the Suntec Exposition Centre in Singapore.
GC Asia 2008 is scheduled to take place October 9 – 12 next year.
