Game Developers Conference 2021

For over three decades, the Game Developers Conference (GDC) has played a crucial role in connecting the global game development community. In response to the continued impact of the coronavirus pandemic, GDC 2021 will run as a fully digital event for the second year in a row. The Game Developers Conference 2021 dates have been scheduled as 19 – 23 July and will include a robust virtual programme of over 400 unique sessions, along with opportunities for education, inspiration, and networking available worldwide.

GDC upholds its reputation as a central source of expertise in the art and science of making games, welcoming programmers, game designers, artists, business decision makers, and others involved in all subsets of game development. The GDC Expo is a market-defining hub, where the latest tools and services from leading technology companies such as Google, Intel, Nvidia and Sony are displayed. The rich conference programme is a prime source of insight into running a successful business, improving the development process and adapting to the latest trends and innovations.

GDC is also a perfect platform to connect with peers, learn from leading developers and boost your career. GDC 2021 attendees will once again have the opportunity to attend two spectacular highlight events: The Game Developers Choice Awards - the leading peer-based video game awards show - and The Independent Games Festival, which honours visionaries in indie game development.
