New for 2022, the GDC Masterclass program will be happening in person at GDC! The GDC Masterclass program is comprised of small-group workshops that deliver in-depth, hands-on training around some of the most important challenges facing game developers today.
These interactive courses go beyond high-level theory to provide students with individualized feedback and practical experience that can be applied directly to their work. Class sizes are kept intentionally small to ensure every student receives one-on-one assistance from the instructor.
All classes will take place on the Monday or Tuesday of the event at the Moscone Center. GDC Masterclass courses can be purchased as an add-on with any pass type for an additional fee.
