The inaugural Copenhagen Gaming Week was a massive success, attracting over 12,000 visitors despite the royal coronation on Sunday that affected attendance. Our involvement in this event was marked by excitement and anticipation as we wondered how our niche world of collectible cards would blend with the broader gaming community. The outcome was spectacular.
Thousands flocked to the Nordic Card Show (NCS), including many first-time visitors who were thoroughly impressed by the vibrant and diverse world of collectible cards. This event provided an eye-opening experience for many, showcasing the extensive and thrilling aspects of the trading card hobby. A recurring remark among attendees was, "We need to check if we have our childhood trading cards stored in the attic, basement, or in a shoebox somewhere."
The event was filled with exciting activities and engaging performances. On stage, we hosted multiple box breaks, auctions, and giveaways, drawing large crowds and creating a dynamic atmosphere. At the TOPPS Nordics booth, football freestyler Emil Jylhänlahti dazzled spectators with his incredible skills, adding an extra layer of entertainment and excitement.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all the exhibitors, volunteers, and visitors who made the Nordic Card Show & Copenhagen Gaming Week an unforgettable experience. Your enthusiasm and participation were crucial in creating the magic of this weekend. Our hobby and community continue to grow stronger with each event, thanks to all of you.
The year 2024 has just begun, and we are thrilled about the upcoming events. The next Nordic Card Show will be held in Aarhus on April 20. And for the first time, we will host an event outside Denmark. On October 26, the Nordic Card Show will take place in Oslo, in collaboration with Bald Breakers and Topps Nordics. We are excited to meet many of you there and create more memorable moments.
Finally, we will return with our recurring Nordic Card Show x PokeKon in September. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the event.
Thank you once again to everyone involved. We look forward to a magical 2024 filled with fantastic shows and unforgettable experiences. See you at the next event!
