The game subsidiary devcom GmbH, founded in 2018, has long been organising more events than just the developer conference at gamescom. Consequently, it has now been renamed game events GmbH.
Since 2017 and the previous withdrawal of the Game Developer Conference Europe in the run-up to gamescom, devcom has brought international game developers together for a conference in Cologne on the days leading up to gamescom. In November 2018, the German games industry association game took over the organisation of this conference itself and founded the subsidiary devcom GmbH in Cologne, which has since been headed by Stephan Reichart as Managing Director.
