The stage is set for an epic showdown of creativity and entrepreneurship at GDC 2025. The two-day event, GDC Pitch, returns with a new group of developers ready to pitch their games.
GDC Pitch is a special event designed to help select participants practice their game-pitching skills. Ten handpicked studios take center stage, ready to captivate our live audience and panel of industry experts. It's a masterclass in pitching, where participants receive real-time feedback and guidance to refine their skills. Two studios (one on each day) will be awarded "Best Pitch" and receive two free GDC 2026 All Access passes
GDC Pitch is hosted by funding advisor Jason Della Rocca, and takes place Wednesday and Thursday (March 19-20) on the GDC Partner Stage (Expo Floor, North Hall) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
This event is a must-attend for developers looking for advice on successfully pitching their games and studios. For those wanting a deeper dive into the nitty gritty of publishing & financing, Jason Della Rocca is also hosting three Funding Futures talks on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
