Your Quick Guide to RESPAWN 2016
It's only a few days until RESPAWN 2016 kicks off, so it's time we provide you with all the information you need for your arrival: Here's a quick guide including directions, entrance and badge pickup, opening hours and more.
Directions:
The Location After the huge success in 2015, RESPAWN has moved to a new venue: THE NEW YORKER | DOCK.ONE, a former paint factory that is now a 1.150 square meters large and pillar free event hall with an additional outdoor area. The location is in walking distance to the Cologne convention center, so it complements your gamescom and GDCE schedule perfectly.

The Business Center The RESPAWN Business Center is located at The New Yorker | HARBOUR.CLUB. This is where the Pitch & Match Area is located, so anyone who scheduled meetings in our Pitch & Match system, will hold them there. Please note, that the Business Center closes at 18:30 on both days. In close vicinity to the DOCK.ONE, the HARBOUR.CLUB is another perfect example of how industrial architecture can be transformed into a spectacular event location. The interior of the three landmarked halls combines historical elements like rough factory walls and even the original giant furnace with modern design elements.
Where to Stay Additional benefit: In less than 200 meters distance you'll find the 4* Design-Hotel “The New Yorker”. Offer yourself or your guests the possibility to enjoy the event straight to the end and then spend the night in a stylish ambience. Official website: http://www.dockone.net
The Shuttle For all visitors, there will be a shuttle service that brings you directly to our partner event GDC Europe and back. The bus departs every hour from the DOCK.ONE parking lot. For Business Pass holders there will be additional VIP shuttles at the HARBOUR.CLUB that you can hop on every 15 minutes. |
