History

Outside the 2009 Eurogamer Expo at Old Billingsgate Market, London

The first Eurogamer Expo took place at the Old Truman Brewery as part of the London Games Festival 2008 and was attended by 4,000 people.[1][6] In 2009, the show took place at The Royal Armouries in Leeds and the Old Billingsgate Market in London at the end of October.[7] The event was held at London's Earls Court for the next 5 years between 2010 to 2014,[8][9][10][11][12] after the confirmation of the venue's closure, it was announced that EGX would be moving to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre as part of a multi-year deal.[13]

In 2012, Eurogamer and Rock, Paper, Shotgun announced Rezzed, a PC and indie games show spun off from Eurogamer Expo.[2] Rezzed was first held at the Brighton Centre on 6–7 July 2012.[3] In September 2012, Eurogamer announced that Eurogamer Expo would also host a Rezzed component.[14]

In October 2013, the Eurogamer Expo was renamed to EGX London, and Rezzed was renamed EGX Rezzed.[12]
