Brasil Game Show :

São Paulo, March 14, 2024 - The Brasil Game Show, Latin America's largest gaming conference, is also the second largest in the world! The ranking is part of a survey recently released by the German company Statista, which specializes in market research. The study brings together the attendance numbers of events held in different countries during 2023, when BGS registered an all-time record of 328,503 attendees.

 

According to Statista's document, the total attendance at the Brazilian event, which will reach its 15th edition in 2024, is second only to ChinaJoy, which had 338,000 attendees.
 

The study also highlights the representativeness that BGS has built up in the local and global gaming market over the years that the event has been held. "The fact that we are the only gaming event in Latin America on the list confirms the great importance of BGS and the region for the industry as a whole," says Marcelo Tavares, CEO and founder of Brasil Game Show. "This is a constantly evolving market, and the experiences we provide to players contribute to the collective growth of the market."
 

According to Tavares, the flow of people per edition of BGS allows brands to get closer to consumers in a unique way, establishing lasting and real connections: attendees can fulfill their dream of meeting idols and have experiences that can't be had in any other environment. More than an opportunity for brands to present their games, the event celebrates the public's passion for video games and reflects the brands' interest in getting closer to their fans."
 

This year's Brasil Game Show will be held from October 9th to 13th at Expo Center Norte, in São Paulo. More news about the attractions and releases will be announced soon.
