Ensuring GDC Is Accessible for All

Americans with 
Disabilities Act (ADA) 

Anyone requiring special assistance, auxiliary aids, interpreters, wheelchair rental or other reasonable accommodation while at GDC is asked to get in touch with our team. Please check back in soon for more information. 

Invisible Disability Stickers 

We understand that not all disabilities are visible from the outside. GDC has Yellow Sunflower stickers at our info booths, which attendees can place on their event badges if they have any type of hidden disability that may require extra help from staff or security.  

Dedicated Seating

We provide dedicated reserved seating at the front of every room that hosts content sessions, as well as the Main Stage, for those with audio or visual impairments. These are on a first come, first served basis. 

Captions and Multi-Language Translation

Captioning is included during Wednesday’s Main Stage and awards shows (attendees can scan the QR code at the entrance for access).  

 

GDC also provides closed captioning in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese) for many of our sessions available on-demand through GDC Vault. 

ADA Accessible Kiosks 

The IGF Pavilion in North Hall includes ADA-accessible kiosks, ensuring our IGF Awards finalist games can be played by all attendees. 

GDC Event App 

Our GDC Event App allows you to make connections and conduct meetings through text, virtually or in-person, depending on your preference. 

Elevators 

All levels of the Moscone Center we use for GDC have elevator access. 

Accessible Restrooms 

Every restroom on each floor level of Moscone includes an accessible restroom. 

Service Animals

In compliance with ADA, the Moscone Center welcomes service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally permitted access. 

ADA Registration Access For those requiring extra assistance or space to register or collect their badge onsite, GDC has an ADA dedicated registration area which will be clearly signposted upon arrival at South Hall, Moscone Center.
