FAQ

CAGGTUS ist das Gaming Festival für die Community! In drei Eventbereichen dreht sich alles rund ums Zocken, Gaming-Kultur und das gemeinsame Festivalerlebnis. Seien Sie als Aussteller:in bei diesem einzigartigen Event dabei und erreichen Sie im direkten Kontakt die Gaming Community.

We only offer stand spaces in the Entertainment Area , whereas sponsoring opportunities will be available in the LAN Area and Stream Area . Feel free to contact us anytime at business@caggtus.de .

We offer various sponsoring packages tailored precisely to your target group. One option, for example, would be for you to support our Stream Area , both financially and with your products. We'll take care of construction, production, talent management and branding. You may contact us anytime at business@caggtus.de .

The Entertainment Area is where visitors ages 12 and up will experience an unforgettable festival weekend. The Expo is where brands present themselves, visitors in the Freeplay Area can jump right into the gaming action, participants in the Cosplay Contest show off legendary costumes, and the Store has the latest products available for purchase. And there's plenty more to discover!

What would our gaming festival be without a huge LAN party ? Open to players ages 18 and up, the LAN Area at CAGGTUS has a hall of its own with plenty of space and the high-quality IT infrastructure you've come to expect. This area hosts a range of tournaments where you can compete for attractive prizes and—let's not forget—honor and glory. Lots of special offers like hardware rentals, analog contests and a lounge with a bar provide a cozy respite from the hustle and bustle of the festival. And all of that for 70 uninterrupted hours.

The Stream Area is its own area within the Entertainment Area . In collaboration with industry partners, this is where unique formats are developed allowing well-known streamers to broadcast live from CAGGTUS. Visitors will have a chance to meet their own idols there.

Please follow the Technical Guidelines issued by Leipziger Messe GmbH. Information here includes the requirement that all stand construction materials meet at least B1 standards, that they be flame-retardant and not produce burning droplets. This also applies to fabrics and tablecloths.

Because the exhibition hall will be very dimly lit, we recommend that exhibitors make sure they have adequate lighting for their stands. The event organizers will not generally provide any partitions separating one stand from another. Exhibitors must provide their own partitions or have these provided by a stand construction company working on the exhibitor's behalf. A partition must take the form of a self-contained, stable, self-supporting wall.

The following requirements must be met:

• Inline stand: 1 back and 2 side partitions
• Corner stand: 1 back and 1 side partition
• Peninsula stand: 1 back partition

According to current plans, all stands in the hall will be freestanding. We recommend that exhibitors design their stands to be attractive from all sides.

Please note: Your stand requires a stand construction permit, which must be submitted on time to the Leipziger Messe GmbH Event Technology Department (Abteilung Veranstaltungstechnik).

Yes, packages may be delivered during set-up and throughout the festival and will be delivered to your stand between 8 am and 5 pm. Shipments must be addressed as follows:
