<p>At the end of February, this year’s Games Developers Conference – scheduled to take place this month, in March – was <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/02/gdc_2020_postponed_due_to_the_coronavirus_outbreak">postponed</a> due to the coronavirus outbreak. A statement on the GDC website said the plan was to host the annual event later on in summer.</p>
<p>Everything has now been sorted and in place of the original conference is a brand new three-day summer expo, taking place between 4th – 6th August, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Here’s the full rundown:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>GDC Summer’s conference program will consist of high-quality technical content, mixed with valuable roundtable discussions to foster conversation and connection.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>The event will host a new series of microtalks and fireside chats, as well as a dedicated space for comprehensive career development sessions covering topics such as how to pitch your game, effective communication strategies, how to land an investor/publisher and business development strategies.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>As a celebration of the game development industry, GDC Summer 2020 will roll out a new community partnership program. Organizations will have the opportunity to apply for space onsite to host meetings and gatherings alongside the main event. Qualifying organizations could include SIG meetings, non-profit board meetings, local meet-ups, hosted “office hours” by community professionals, portfolio review rooms, podcast recording and more.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>This program enables GDC as an organization to reach areas of the industry previously untapped due to space restrictions. Meanwhile, sponsorship packages are designed to be easy to execute, with a shorter-than-average runway compared to other industry events.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>GDC Summer will give the game development community a chance to come together in a way that hasn’t currently been possible due to COVID-19. Safety remains the GDC organizers’ paramount concern and the GDC team will continue to monitor the latest information from health officials to ensure a safe and compelling event for everyone at GDC Summer, GDC 2021 and beyond.</p>
