The Game Developers Conference returns to San Francisco this March 18-22, 2024. This incredible event will feature hundreds of sessions hand-picked by our Advisory Board—and we have two new audio advisors who will be joining the board.
This year, GDC is excited to welcome the following industry leaders who are joining the GDC Advisory Board. Advisors work to support the show and evaluate submissions on one or more of the following topics in the Core Concepts program: Advocacy, Audio, Business & Marketing, Design, Production & Team Leadership, Programming, and Visual Arts.
The Advisory Board is currently looking through the 2024 submissions for lectures, roundtables, and panels for the Core Concepts portion of the weeklong event. Starting August 24, GDC 2024 will be accepting submissions to present lectures and panels for GDC Summits and Game Career Seminar. Those proposals will be appraised by our Summits advisory boards.
