Game Developer Conference
GDC Festival San Francisco
The Global Gathering for Everyone Who Make Games Happen
Rooted in decades of legacy, GDC has set the global standard for technical excellence, creative innovation, and the connections that drive the industry forward.
The Festival of Gaming expands that legacy. Across five days, every discipline, every role, and every stage of the game-making lifecycle is on one program – from design and code to publishing, marketing, and investment. It’s still the rigorous, developer-trusted content you expect from GDC, now amplified with broader perspectives, new interactive formats, and more opportunities to learn, collaborate, and celebrate together.
This 40th edition marks an expansion of everything GDC stands for: A festival of ideas, innovation, and imagination. A space that reflects your journey, your role, and your future in games.
