GamesPress to provide online press office for EGN

Videogames media resource GamesPress has signed a partnership deal with the European Games Network and Game Stars Live shows which will see the firm providing an online press office for both events.

Under the terms of the deal, both EGN and GSL will have exclusive, branded areas on the GamesPress site - which is widely used by both specialist and mainstream media for press information and assets - hosting all releases and assets from the exhibitors at both shows.

"EGN and Game Stars Live boast exhibitor lists that reflect the size and stature of the games industry," according to GamesPress technical director Steve Owen, "so we're expecting a wealth of news and announcements from ExCeL. We're looking forward to helping to raise the profile of these new trade and consumer events by giving journalists the information and assets they need to provide the best possible coverage of both shows."

Game Stars Live runs from the 1st to the 5th of September in the ExCeL conference centre in London, while trade event European Games Network runs from the 1st to the 3rd of September in an adjoining hall of the venue.
