From March 22-24, 2023, the Game Developers Conference (GDC) will take place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The GDC is the most important conference for the game industry and supports the development of games and the improvement of their quality.
Largest platform for the games industry
The conference provides a platform for programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, and business people to interact and share ideas. In the process, presentations, discussions, and roundtables will shape the future of the industry. The event also offers an extensive program of inspiring and informative talks, as well as networking opportunities.
Community and exchange
GDC focuses on community and encourages the sharing of experiences.
For this reason, there are dedicated community areas where attendees can relax and meet new people, including playable indie games, retro games, alternative controllers, and more.
Awards Ceremonies
The Game Developers Conference also gives out two awards: The Game Developers Choice Awards, a peer-voted awards ceremony that recognizes the best games and developers, while the Independent Games Festival honors the most innovative and exemplary projects in indie game development.
Digital Pass available for the first time
New this year is the GDC Vault Digital Pass for $599, which allows you to view recorded content from GDC 2023 and schedule virtual meetings. The pass offers unique features, such as a year of full access to the GDC Vault. On-site access to GDC 2023 is not included.
Tiered pricing
The most expensive package ($2,204) is the All Access Ticket, which provides unlimited access to all conference events, summits, and workshops. The Core Ticket for $1,521 provides access to the main conference events and workshops, but not the Summits. For those who want to focus on specific areas of the industry, GDC also offers the Summit Ticket, which provides access to special events and workshops on topics such as AI, virtual reality, and independent games. The price is $996. Interested parties can purchase their tickets on the official GDC website before the price increases.
For the games industry, GDC is the most important event of the year. But game fans also look eager to San Francisco and wait for news from the industry.
