So finally, after a year of uncertainty and general financial worries, the organization aDeSe (Asociación Española de Distribuidores y Editores de Software de Entretenimiento) decided that Madrid will get a big video game fair on its own again, which will take place November 7--10 at IFEMA this year, and then hopefully every year again (http://www.adese.es/).

The first day will be reserved to professionals and the other three days be open to all publics, and following the models of Milan and Paris, Madrid aspires this being the (Spanish) video game event getting the most attention in Spain as well as the rest of the world.

Fact is that besides Barcelona as point of attraction in comic and entertainment matters, several Universities of the Madrid community (for instance, La Universidad Complutense, cf. http://www.videojuegos-ucm.es/) offer studies in video game creation & development now.

Anyway, recalling the crowds of video game aficionates having flooded the last GAMEFEST in fall 2011, one may also hope that a bigger exhibition space will be available for the upcoming Games Week. In any case, more information is going to be announced the following months so for now just hold the date until then.
