After the cancellation of the event announced last March 2020 and the postponement to 2021 for the new edition, the most important gaming fair in the United Kingdom announces with the formula "Virtually Expo " his first planned virtual tour from 21 to 23 August 2020.
Albeit the emergency COVID-19 has not spared any international trade fair and event, the biggest players in the world of playful events are running for cover by proposing a wide range of alternative solutions, among which the possibility to exploit the potential of the "digital world", which has evolved so much in this period of emergency.
It 's just yesterday the news that it UKGE will air fully digitally from Friday 21st August until Sunday 23rd August 2020. The most important gaming fair in the United Kingdom opens the “virtual doors” of its pavilions, allowing exhibitors and visitors to come together even if they remain far away.
For now it is only news that we can read from the official website of the event, but it is already known that in the next few days more information will start to come out on the main questions that everyone has asked themselves:
- but how much will it cost to participate as a visitor or exhibitor?
- which shows will I have the opportunity to participate in?
- which demos will i be able to take part in?
- and what about the section dedicated to tournaments of the main game systems?
The information that the organizers have leaked is practically nil, most likely still too intent on defining the last details and communicating the entire technological stack on which this digital evolution of the event will be based. But already with a short and evocative title "Virtually Expo: UK Games Expo is going online! " the hype created in the players has been truly remarkable, now resigned to waiting a whole year, and has received the resonance that the organizers expected.
We just have to wait for the developments on this matter.
