FAQ

The Gameplan Conference is a two-day event. A variety of showcases around the next gen in sports & media will be presented in front of 1,200 guests - with a big stage, a wide variety of experiences, as well as a big after show party and several workshops.

Single tickets for the Gameplan Conference are not available for purchase. If you want to attend, you can book a table for your company on our website.

The highlight of Day 1 is our show on the main stage. At the same time, there’s plenty of time for networking, great food, lots of cool experiences and our after-show party.


Day 2 is all about our deep dives, where we’ll explore various topics in smaller sessions.

You’ll find the full schedule - including all keynotes, talks, and deep dives - on our website.

At the Gameplan Conference you will find a wide selection of food trucks and drinks available to all guests free of charge.

The showcases will be held both in German and English, but the majority will be in English. We will indicate the language for each showcase in our program overview.

If you are interested in becoming a partner of the Gameplan Conference, email partners@gmpln.com. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
