Leipzig Messe - Image 1Since its founding last 2002, the German Games Convention (aka GCDC) has often been equated to the city of Leipzig, and its Leipziger Messe convention center that successfully tended to the 183,000 visitors that came in during GCDC's recent stint in 2006.

And while we're still warming up to this year's upcoming event, there's speculation that come next year (2008), GCDC will be moving out of Leipzig into a new venue. We're not too sure about the details, but it seems that this came to light after several major exhibitors at the event stated that they were unhappy with Leipzig's location, which was described as being difficult to access due to the city's small airport.

That's all the details we have for now. Stick around in case this bit of speculation gets some rock-solid confirmation, or if we pick up word on where the new GCDC venue will be - the possibilities include the cities of Frankfurt and Cologne.

I have made 472$ in April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "KINGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

 » There are other things to take into account

The article just sheds some light on the exhibitors point of view, but for the audience there are points to consider, too. While Leipzig is at a rather central spot in germany, Cologne and Frankfurt are located in or at least nearby the most (and most densely) populated counties, so the national attendees have shorter trips to the convention. Plus, in comparison to Leipzig, those cities have better infrastrukture regarding hotels and other options to spend a night.If you try to rent a room for this years GC, you will not find anything in Leipzig at all, it's booked months in advance. In fact, visitors place reservations for the next year when they leave this years GC, so knowing where the GC will be held the upcoming year is quite important. On the downside, a room in Leipzig is cheaper ;)

Another sidenote: Games Convention (aka GC) is the public event, the GCDC is the Developers Conference with no public access. The GCDC starts on Wednesday, the GC on Thursday.
