The call for submissions to present lectures, roundtables, panels and poster sessions at the 2013 Game Developers Conference ® (GDC) is now open through Tuesday, August 28. Organized by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, GDC 2013 is the game industry’s most comprehensive and longest running professionals-only event where game developers converge for a week of learning, networking and inspiration. GDC 2013 will take place March 25 – 29 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California. Session proposals can be submitted via the official GDC website at www.gdconf.com.
The GDC submission process is divided into a three-phase system, beginning with this initial call for submissions and continuing with the first review and resubmit phase, and then final review. Session formats this year include 25-and-60-minute lectures, as well as panels, posters, roundtables and one or two day tutorials. The Game Developers Conference advisory board will review and determine submissions based on the criteria of concept, depth, organization, credentials, and takeaway.
Tracks at GDC 2013 include Audio, Business, Marketing and Management, Production, Programming, Visual Arts, and Game Design. Attendees will find lectures, tutorials, roundtables, posters and sessions over the five days will expand their knowledge base on various disciplines within video game development.
“Since our record-breaking attendance at last year’s Game Developers Conference, we set our minds to deliver a conference that is ahead of the curve in this ever evolving industry,” said Meggan Scavio, general manager of all Game Developers Conference events. “From smartphones, to tablets, to home consoles, we are excited to receive a variety of top notch submissions from the best and brightest developers in the industry.”
The Summits return to the Game Developers Conference 2013 March 25-26 for two educational days of panels, lectures, postmortems and more. The call for submissions to present sessions for the specialized Summits will open September 26th and close October 23rd, 2012.
