The gaming and video game sector of the Rhine-Main region needs a platform to explore and discuss the trends, ideas, and developments of the industry. GAMEplaces is such a platform and gives all participants the opportunity to build and expand their network, to develop new ideas, and to identify new potentials – this is our commitment.

By touching economic topics as well as by exploring the artistic, cultural, and narrative aspects of games, GAMEplaces contributes to the recognition of this innovative and significantly growing industry sector. The platform helps by reducing prejudices, showing new potentials, and strengthening the public dialogue. GAMEplaces invites not only insiders, but also decision-makers, politicians, journalists, and everybody else interested in games and gaming.

GAMEplaces has the goal to promote Frankfurt am Main and the Rhine-Main region to the companies and the people employed in the industry. They should see city and region as what they are: a very creative, competitive, and technological highly developed location for the gaming and video game industry.

The events held under the label GAMEplaces include the GAMEplaces conferences, GAMEplaces International, GAMEplaces Dinner, and GAMEplaces Business & Legal. The common goal at each of these events is to further establish games in society and the social discourse by the means of networking and the sharing of knowledge.
