The gaming industry is once again planning to gather in San Francisco for the annual Game Developers conference, and the event wants your help.
GDC 2016 has started taking submissions for lectures, roundtables, panels, and tutorials. Through August 27, you can send your idea in for consideration and the event’s advisory board will help review and refine submissions. This is the 30th year of GDC, which is the biggest conference for developers in the United States. It attracted nearly 40,000 people from all around the world in 2015, and it could bring even more to S.F. this time around.
The next GDC will kick off March 14 and continue through March 18 in San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center. The event, as always, will attract tens of thousands of game makers.
As for the submissions, each one receives a review from the event’s advisory board. Those that GDC accepts will also get input from the board, which includes Visceral Games producer Amy Hennig for the first time ever.
GDC is looking for submissions in the following areas:
- Audio
- Design
- Production
- Programming
- Visual arts
- Business, marketing, and management
- Advocacy
In addition to the traditional GDC panels and roundtables, 2016 is the first year that the event will also hold the Virtual Reality Developers Conference. This will happen on the first two days of GDC.
