Devcom Developer Conference 2025 has broken its attendance records for a second year, up 6% from 2024 to 5,400 visitors.

This year’s edition featured 390 speakers (up 30%) across 220 sessions and 17 stages.

Devcom 2025 hosted 2,500 companies from 89 countries, with 53 exhibitors showcasing their projects and services.

“When we started Devcom in 2017, our goal was to create a home for all developers,” said Stephen Reichart, managing director of game events GmbH and Devcom organiser.

“Since then, this conference has grown into a truly global hub for knowledge sharing, inspiration, and connection in our industry.”

He continued: “Closing this chapter with a record attendance and opening a new one as Gamescom Dev marks another step in that journey. It’s proof how much the event and its community have evolved and how strong the foundation is for what’s to come.”

Earlier this week, Devcom organisers announced that the conference will be renamed Gamescom Dev from October 2025.

“We’ve had an incredible, exciting, and at times very challenging journey with Devcom over the years,” said Reichart.

“Right from the start, people kept asking, ‘So you’re the game developer side of Gamescom?’ That is why we decided to add the subtitle, ‘The official game developer conference of Gamescom’.”

“Now, everyone gets it – everything related to developer content happens at Gamescom Dev.”
