WHAT IS RESPAWN?
HISTORY OF RESPAWN
Like our spirit animal, the Phoenix, Respawn arose from almost nothing. Merely a vague idea took
shape in May 2013, that a gathering should take place. Right before gamescom and for every member of the games industry, be it students, be it executives. There were only 3 months left, for planning
a completely new event - it seemed impossible to do. But the team was so fired up by the thought of
creating an event from scratch, that every unnecessary bit was crossed off. We sought for the essence of a game developer conference. When we found it, Respawn was born.
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.”
THE CONCEPT
Respawn tears down the usual structure of any typical conference - even the lecture rooms. To give
attendees a maximum of transparency, speakers present their talks at open stages. The sound is broadcasted to headsets, similar to a silent disco. Everyone can tune into the different channels at any
given time, and thus decide which session is of main interest to them, on the fly. It is this casual and
informal atmosphere, that lets our attendees meet on eye level and allows a unique mixup between
different sectors of the industry. It is also a relaxed start into a demanding gamescom week.
OFFICIAL PARTNER OF GDCE
