The ESSENtial Retailer Summit is returning to Essen Spiel for 2023. After a two-year hiatus, GAMA is pleased to offer this program once again for publishers and retailers to grow their businesses by forming new relationships across the globe. PLEASE NOTE: The ESSENtial Retailer Summit is intended for retailers only.

Publishers will be showing off new releases, sharing sneak peeks of future titles, and offering information on retailer-specific programs and news. Participating retailers are encouraged to open a dialogue with publishers and form lasting professional connections. (NOTE: Publisher speaking opportunities are currently full)

The 2023 ESSENtial Retailer Summit will be held on Friday, October 6th, from 4 PM to 7 PM (GMT+2), in Room M+N of the Congress Center South. You can find a map to this location HERE.

In addition to the retailer summit, GAMA will have a booth in Hall 4 (4E114) – and, on Saturday, October 7th, will be hosting an Industry After Hours Reception at the Prototype Gallery (Booth 4F10; which is adjacent to our booth) from 7 PM to 9 PM.

Last year’s reception was attended by more than 200 people. We are excited about our international outreach and look forward to connecting with industry members this fall in Germany.

RSVP to the ESSENtial Retailer Summit and/or the Industry After Hours Reception via Eventbrite, being sure to follow the instructions. You are permitted to bring a +1 guest to either event. All attendees MUST be registered. For your guest, please consider bringing a non-member to help share the values and benefits of GAMA.
