Also, the Leipzig fair holds the rights to the names 'GC' and GamesConvention. But the big publishers have all said they'd go to Cologne, which is much more accessible for the international trade and press public, plus there's lots more room for expansion. I'm not sure what will be left for the GC in Leipzig next year. Possibly it will be a family-oriented fair with only small local developers and publishers, leaving the business/trade/press/behind closed doors stuff to Cologne. I know I'm planning to go to Cologne from 2009 onwards, but if anything exciting is announced for Leipzig I might have to visit both. *shrug* Cologne is an hour and a half to drive, Leipzig is that plus a plane flight of an hour, so not that much difference for me.
