PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- GameX (Games & Media Expo), October 23-25, 2009, in Philadelphia, today announced Ubisoft as one of its latest major game publisher exhibitors, joining SEGA and Electronic Arts.

"We are thrilled that Ubisoft will be a part of this exciting show," said John Kelly, vice president of merchandising for QVC. "Not only does Ubisoft lend great brand recognition to the broadcast but it also offers our customers access to some of the most-anticipated game releases this season."

Jennifer Halpin, executive vice president of show production for GameX, adds, "GameX, by design, is built on the premise that major media and entertainment companies are seeking to build their brands -- and need to bridge the distance that remains open to consumers. With QVC's ability to reach a broad audience, the collaboration between QVC and Ubisoft, the nation's fourth largest games publisher, is a monumental example of the symbiosis that is taking effect this holiday season at our convention. We are thrilled to usher this innovation, as a sign of an ongoing commitment to our growing space."

GameX has quickly ramped up to be a high-visibility entertainment, tech and media show with games as its main attraction. GameX features games-focused exhibits and demos from companies such as Electronic Arts (Dante's Inferno and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning) and SEGA (BAYONETTA), as well as pop culture elements such as advance film and TV screenings and trailers from SyFy Channel and Lionsgate, celebrity guest appearances, high-stakes game tournaments from Alienware and iGames, live video game music, robotics demonstrations, cosplay, video game comedy improv, animation festival and competitive steampunk art exhibit, and much more.
