Xsolla Shines at devcom and gamescom 2023
September 16, 2023
Xsolla attended and had great fun with Europe's largest business community at devcom and gamescom this year. Over five days in Cologne, Germany, our team showcased our commitment to the gaming industry with a well-designed booth, 3 inspiring speaking sessions, and a game night full of fun. Below, we've rounded up our wins and a few images highlighting the 2023 conference.
At an impressive 156 square meters, the Xsolla booth was our team's home base and bustled with activity during the conference. Eventgoers started their days off full of energy thanks to our talented barista, who served over 1,000 cups of coffee. With plenty of comfortable seating and breakout rooms, our team met with 1,592 game industry professionals to talk business, form new partnerships, and help game developers take their games to the next level.

Xsolla continued to build community within the gaming industry with our second sponsored Game Night of the year. Following the success of Xsolla Game Night at GDC 2023, we once again partnered with Deconstructor of Fun and Mastercard to host a memorable evening of classic tabletop games.
The event, spanning 3.5 hours, saw a remarkable turnout of over 381 competitive attendees who engaged in 603 rounds of various games. The energy was palpable, and the fun infectious; no one wanted the night to end.
Our team had a blast connecting with the larger gaming and business community to form more partnerships and help game developers and publishers take their games to new heights.
