GDC Festival of Gaming

The Game Developers Conference returns under a new name at the Moscone Center. It is the largest industry-focused gathering in games, run by Informa. Over several days, attendees can join sessions on design, programming, publishing, marketing and funding. There is also a business hall, a festival hall, networking and an awards programme. Indie and mobile developers will find it useful for picking up practical lessons from peers and for meeting publishers and potential partners.
