With more than 82,417 visitors in 2017, Gaming Istanbul (GIST) has become - in the space of just two years - the largest B2B and B2C gaming event in Turkey, and one of the biggest events in the North Africa-Middle East region. Organised by GL events, the third Gaming Istanbul will take place at the Istanbul Congress Center (ICC) from 1 to 4 February.

GIST covers 14,000m² of exhibition space devoted to gaming, and expects to get more visitors than previous year. It is the ideal place for gaming fans of every genre. The programme includes cosplays (leisure activity that involves dressing up as a hero of a cartoon, manga, video game, etc.), tournaments, exhibitor areas, a children's play area and a space devoted to 8-bit retro video games; in short, something for everyone.

In addition to the pure entertainment and leisure side, the show also places the focus on B2B business. In view of Turkey's strategic location, Gaming Istanbul acts as a bridge between Europe and Asia. Consequently, specific areas will be devoted to game production and distribution, in order to promote business opportunities. Distributors, console manufacturers, players' associations, game designers and developers, media companies, and manufacturers or distributors of models will be present throughout the event, and will be sharing their know-how through conferences.

The GIST is not just a video game exhibition, it is an event where professionals, amateurs and gamers get together to exchange ideas, share experiences and have fun.
