Eurogamer Expo heads to Earls Court in October

Eurogamer has announced that its third annual Eurogamer Expo will take place this year at London's Earls Court, October 1-3.

Taking place in Brompton Hall, the event intends to attract 20,000 consumers and will once again offer hands-on play with forthcoming game releases ahead of the busy Christmas sales period.

"Earls Court is another step up for the Eurogamer Expo," commented Rupert Loman, managing director of Eurogamer Network. "Our 2009 event was a sell-out in advance of the show and while our philosophy continues to revolve around sustainable and organic growth, moving to a bigger venue with all the facilities it has to offer allows us to put on a fantastic event for even more gamers."

The GamesIndustry.biz Career Fair will return offering students and graduates the chance to meet face-to-face with leading development and publishing companies, and there will also be live developer sessions – events that proved popular with the crowds last year.

"In addition to masses of playable games, this year's Eurogamer Expo will deliver an even wider range of other attractions," added David Lilley, Expo event director. "It's our intention to provide a full day's entertainment to this key group of opinion formers and gaming advocates."
