Happy August Activity! August returns us a bit more toward the normal level of events of the month, as opposed to the dip in July and the extreme amount of events in June. July had over a dozen fewer events listed than June but was right on target with previous years expectations. The same holds for August with just a few more events listed then in July.
We’re also continuing to see in August a significant drop in the number of hybrid and online events. Almost everything is back to ‘normal’ at pre-pandemic levels.
The big event this month is gamescom with many surrounding events during this European tradeshow. gamescom is quickly becoming an E3 replacement for the world and then some with GDC like surrounding events such as Game Connection (which historically always attached itself to GDC activity).
