Event Preview: GDC 2018

Posted Mar 14, 2018

It’s almost that time of year again. Get ready for the Game Developers Conference (GDC), coming up from March 19th to the 23rd at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California! GDC is the world’s largest professional games industry event, attracting over 26,000 attendees, including programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, and business decision-makers, all gathering to exchange ideas, connect, and explore the future of the industry.

The conference has over 500 lectures, panels, tutorials, and round-table discussions covering everything from the basics of game development to the latest in VR. The event also features the Independent Games Festival, the Game Developers Choice Awards, and an expo showcasing new development tools, platforms, and services in the industry.

AdColony is super excited to have an official booth at GDC 2018! On top of the coffee and nitro brews we’ll be serving, we’ll be hosting a few events for our partners and clients! Swing by the Moscone South Booth 1323 booth for more information.
