Our Event Management feature gives you access to our verified and audited press and influencers, or you can send invites to your own contacts.
Every event has its own link, making life easier for those wish to attend, while you can send personal invitations to your most important contacts 1:1, allowing direct access to your schedule, so that they can book a slot that works for them and for you.
For events that are part of a larger industry event, like gamescom, GDC or PAX, then it's even easier to setup your event. Press and influencers will see their appointments with you as part of their larger event schedule, making it super easy for them to manage their schedule and increase appointment attendance.
Take a look below as we run through the journey of an event. Or, if you've seen what you need, you can get started with your account today and get your event setup and online within ten minutes.

"There isn't a better tool for the management of press outreach in the video game space, in fact there isn't one that even comes close. We love that some of our clients use PressEngine too, it’s added clarity and a healthy dose of democratisation for indies too.”
Gary Burns
Director, 1UP PR
"I've been using PressEngine from day one when we started with Pirate PR. It's been vital for getting some of our games that much-coveted MetaCritic rating (and OpenCritic too). Two thumbs up from me and a wink from the eye not covered with an eye-patch!”
Robby Bisschop
Director, Pirate PR
Getting visibility for your games, booth or event couldn't be easier. Here's all the different ways in which we've made discoverability of your event super simple, ensuring your event the greatest success.
Sending an outreach campaign is the quickest way to get your event out there. We attach an event invite to the email so that recipients can immediately RSVP to you. All the outcomes are logged, so you can see who's accepted and who hasn't.
Every event also comes with a shareable event URL which you can use on your social media and communications to bring more attendees to your event. The URL acts as an invitation so anyone who clicks can immediately select a slot on your schedule.
If you've made your event visible on the platform then press and influencers can request access to your event, giving you complete control over who is invited to your event.
You can also send personal invites direct from your schedule for those VIP contacts. Using your event schedule you simply pick a slot and add their name and email address, and the platform takes care of the rest.
You can easily manage your schedule for each event, booth, interview location or party. Reschedule existing appointments, ask attendees pre-event questions to ascertain any specific needs, view detailed attendee information to get the appointment just right or block out some time for when you can't take appointments.
Every appointment in your schedule shows you who your attendee is, their publication or channel, their country, their role and their tier of importance. Schedule options mean you can specify how many people you can see per appointment space and how long each appointment is.
Export your calendar for access in other applications, or connect your schedule to Outlook or Google Mail to link it to your personal calendar.
Using our Appointment Check-In app can take the stress out of finding out where your invitee should be, especially if you're running many schedules at the same time.
Appointment holders simply tap in their registered email address, we find the appointment or appointments they have with you, and they select which one they want to check-in for. The app is automatically tailored for your organisation, making it easy for attendees to check-in with the least amount of stress and hassle.
Notifications are sent to both the invitee and the event organiser to confirm their check-in, so you could even run an unhosted front desk, allowing invitees to notify you that they're here for their appointment.
Reporting for attendance is quickly created post-event, so you can follow-up with those that couldn't make their appointment, or send more information such as review keys or promotional material for your game, to those that did.

Our Events feature was launched just four weeks before gamescom 2024, as a way for video game PR Agencies, Developers and Publishers to book appointments with video games media and influencers.
In that time we confirmed nearly 800 press meetings for companies like Atari, Amazing Seasun Games, Owlcat Games, Ancient Machine, Victura, Nordcurrent, UberStrategist and many, many more.
And the feedback from video games media was outstanding - "I feel like half my life is run by PressEngine now", "It really makes a difference for us", "I found this feature brilliant and great! Bravo."
So if you want to get video games media and influencers to your event, to your booths and stands at expos and industry events globally, it's quite simple: Use PressEngine.
Fun fact: the busiest time for gamescom 2024, the slot with the most press appointments, was 1pm on Wednesday. On average, it was late afternoon on Thursday when the most appointments happened. And Friday was busier than Wednesday - so everyone leaving early Friday to get their flight home missed out on more appointments!
