Organizers of the\u00a02019\u00a0Game Developers Conference<\/a>\u00a0are excited to confirm\u00a0that the popular\u00a0GDC Pitch<\/a> event will return next year as\u00a0part of the\u00a0GDC Play showcase of emerging and independent developers!\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you’ve never seen it before, know that\u00a0GDC Pitch<\/a> is a special event designed to help select participants practice their pitching skills with experienced professionals — as well as\u00a0a live audience of GDC attendees!<\/p>\n

It’s a valuable experience for both presenters and spectators, since\u00a0a\u00a0great pitch can secure the future of your studio, or ensure your game has the resources to reach the\u00a0players who will appreciate it most.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works: Game developers who\u00a0register to exhibit their game in\u00a0GDC Play 2019<\/a>\u00a0by February 13th<\/strong>\u00a0may be selected to receive pitching advice and coaching, then\u00a0pitch their game\u00a0an opinionated panel of investors and publishers\u00a0in front of an audience. No pressure!<\/p>\n

10\u00a0selected teams will each be offered pitch prep and training, then\u00a0get 5\u00a0minutes to pitch, followed by questions, advice, and feedback from the judges. The judges will declare a “Best Pitch” on each day, and award each\u00a0a\u00a0complimentary All Access pass to GDC 2020.<\/p>\n

GDC Play, which is\u00a0still open to\u00a0potential exhibitors<\/a>, is a special\u00a0area of the San Francisco show that showcases emerging and independent developers with a series of tables and meeting rooms. It will take place from Wednesday, March 18th\u00a0through Friday, March 22nd at GDC 2019.<\/p>\n

Once again, as part of the ‘Best in Play’ awards program all GDC Play exhibitors will be judged on their in-development or complete games by a panel of veteran GDC organizers and Gamasutra editors.<\/p>\n

The top 8 will be named ‘Best in Play’ winners, and all 8 winners will receive 2 All Access Passes to the 2020 Game Developers Conference. Special ‘Best in Play’ designations will be attached to the honorees’ GDC Play tables at GDC 2019, where their games will be playable to all GDC attendees.<\/p>\n
