The Game Developers Conferences is still going strong, and this year is no exception. If you’re into game development, you’re already a veteran game developer, or want to create your own game as a hobby, then this year’s GDC showcase is something you don’t want to miss out on. Here’s everything you need to know.
What Is the Game Developers Conference?
The Game Developers Conference, or GDC for short, is an event that brings all developers together. Whether they’re big or small, this is the place you can find indie games or AAA titles.
It’s an amazing chance for developers to come together with the community to exchange ideas, solve problems, and learn with the best in the business.
There are many opportunities for you to interact with game companies and learn different aspects from creating a game. From programming, to game design and business and marketing.
When is the GDC Showcase Happening?
The 2021 GDC showcase will start on March 15th through March 19th. During this showcase, you’ll have the chance to attend different Q&A sessions, interactive panels, keynotes, and interviews which will go from 9:00 a.m. to 14:00 pm PT each day.
The best part? The event is totally free to join. All you need to do is go to the GDC registration page and enter your email.
Who’s Going to Be There?
You can expect the greatest pros from the industry to attend this year’s GDC. From the biggest companies in the world, like Facebook and Google, to the most popular game companies like Electronic Arts, Unity, and Sucker Punch Studios, the team behind the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima.
They’ll be doing live sessions, and you’ll even be able to ask them questions for yourself! If you want to know who else will be there, you can check the GDC Showcase schedule.
Who Can Attend the GDC Showcase?
This year’s GDC showcase will be entirely online, so everyone can attend, but not everyone should. Let us explain.
If you’re just interested in playing games, then you should probably skip this event. You won’t see any new crazy games announcements. This is a business event, after all.
The GDC showcase is for people who pursue a career making games. This includes game programmers, game designers, visual artists, sound designers or engineers, and anyone trying to break into the game development industry.
Is this you? Then you can’t miss out on this opportunity. Go to the GDC registration page and claim your seat.
