The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) is set to “unlock” a new chapter in the global gaming industry by hosting “gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show”, the first-ever and largest international gaming festival in Southeast Asia. This unprecedented event combines a comprehensive business zone and a full-scale entertainment zone for the very first time in the world — covering every dimension of the gaming ecosystem, from business negotiations and technological showcases to immersive entertainment experiences for gamers and communities. Expected to attract over 200,000 visitors from around the globe, the event will take place from October 16–19, 2025.
