Think Services, which runs the Game Developers Conference, has announced that it's changing the name of its GDC Austin conference to GDC Online. The show is now scheduled to return to Austin at the Austin Convention Center from October 5-8, 2010.
The event will feature "enlightening business development talks, deep-dive technical sessions on programming for connected games, and an expo hall that brings together leading publishers, tool-vendors and service providers for online and social games." The new name for the conference better reflects the dynamic online development scene, Think Services said.
“All the GDC events in Austin have built a strong reputation for engaging the online development community, and for serving as an essential forum for developers to learn and network. We’re proud to say that GDC Online will continue this legacy,” says Izora de Lillard, Event Director, GDC Online, “Whether you’re an up-and-coming social game developer, an experienced online game creator looking for technical gems, or a business professional looking to expand into the online game space, GDC Online will be the place to be on October 5-8.”
