Games Convention could expand to Canada


Last month the Leipzig Games Convention was held in Germany and organizers boasted of 203,000 attendees. While the future of the Leipzig event is in question due to 2009's launch of GAMEScon in Cologne, Games Convention organizers have already announced they are thinking of moving to the North American market.

Now comes work via Gamekyo that the first such event might not happen in the United States but our neighbor to the north. According to a statement they received from Games Convention, "'We'll decide about the place of the new event in cooperation with the games industry. It seems to become a city in Canada, not in the US." Certainly the US is pretty full at the moment with events like GDC, E3, Penny Arcade Expo and E For All Expo, not to mention large events like CES and San Diego Comic-Con which have games as part of their exhibits.
