GDC Canada to Return for Second Year

Posted January 14, 2010 by James Brightman

Organizers for the Game Developers Conference announced today that GDC Canada will indeed return for a second year. The first ever GDC Canada saw more than 800 members of the Canadian game development community  come together. The upcoming GDC Canada is now set to take place at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, BC from May 6-7, 2010.

Representatives said the show will "serve as the premier local event for developers and business development professionals looking for best practices for managing established franchises, developing new global titles, or looking to take advantage of new distribution models." The 2010 GDC Canada will feature tracks focused on Digital Distribution, Social Games, and iPhone Games alongside tracks on Game Design, Business/Production, Programming, and Visual Arts. A one-day Game Career Seminar will also be presented.

"Attendees to this year's GDC Canada will gain new insights to current technologies across different game platforms as well as new business opportunities and distribution models," said Izora de Lillard, event director. "We're proud return to Vancouver and provide the forum for Canadian developers to connect, celebrate, and further the industry."
