I was delighted to be able to a member of the Media for such an event here in Dublin, I didn't know what to expect when I got to the convention centre in Dublin it was an immersive experience with the Gamers of Ireland. The 2000 seater Auditorium at the Convention Centre was perfect for Gamers interested in seeing their favourite YouTube's, and the 30,000 square foot exhibition hall gave attendees the opportunity to experience Virtual Reality, play their favourite games, and there also was the Merch-Market for all of the latest gaming merchandise. With close to €250m being spent each year on Gaming in Ireland, GamerCon aims to cater for the very significant, and growing Gaming Market. Perhaps surprisingly, the average gamer in Ireland may be closer to 30 than they are to 15, as gaming has become so mainstream in the past 5-10 years in particular, so they aim to cater for a sophisticated gamer who wants an experience, not just an event.
