What they say
JULIAN CASTANO
Ubisoft | Global Category Manager – Production & Marketing External Services
I was so happy to be a part of this first version under the new format and being able to contribute from my experience at Ubisoft and look very much forward to having the opportunity to continue contributing to its success in the future.
BOBBY WERTHEIm
Kando Factory | Founder
For me, gamescom latam was not just an event but a crucial opportunity to explore potential investments and support emerging talent in the gaming industry. The level of creativity and passion showcased here has been truly inspiring.
JUNEY DIJKSTRA
EA | Operations Director, External Development
In nearly a decade working with Brazilian partners, I’ve been enamored by their warmth and passion. The opportunity to experience them on their home turf, surrounded by Brazilian culture, rhythm and food, is in my opinion invaluable to creating lasting business relationships.
TIM MORTEN
Frost Giant Studios, Inc. | Production Director & CEO
It was an honor to be invited to São Paulo to showcase Stormgate at the first-ever gamescom latam event. Gamers in Brazil are incredibly passionate and this conference was a unique opportunity to connect directly with players representing one of the fastest-growing markets in the world.
JASON DELLA ROCCA
Execution Labs | Co-Founder
It has been a joy to witness the growth of this event: from the very first edition of BIG Festival 12 years, to the new partnership with gamescom, delivering an extra level of polish and international prestige. gamescom latam is a must attend event to understand, connect, and do business with the massive gaming ecosystem in Brazil, and more broadly across Latin America. I go every year without hesitation.
DAVID LOGAN
Akupara Games | Founder & CEO
gamescom latam was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Since the event, we’ve been in discussions with numerous talented developers and are hopeful about making publishing offers for one or two of their exceptional games. I see immense potential in the Brazilian game scene, and Akupara Games is now more committed than ever to helping developers from the region gain recognition and achieve success.
