The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is one of the biggest events in the world for the video games industry, dedicated exclusively to professionals. It was held from 14 to 18 March 2016 in San Francisco. For the fifth year in a row, AWEX had a promotional stand there.
GDC, organised by the Think Services Game Group, has been held every year in March in San Francisco since 1987. Originally, it only attracted a handful of designers, but has since established itself as an unmissable event for video game developers.
Alongside the exhibition areas, GDC puts on more than 400 events: talks, tutorials and roundtable discussions led by industry experts. The latest news on development tools, platforms and services is also presented.
For this major event, the International Game Developers Association handed out the Game Developers Choice Awards to video game developers who have stood out with their innovative achievements. As well as this, the annual “Independent Games Festival” is organised to encourage innovation when it comes to developing games and to identify the best independent game developers.

As GDC is also a great place to forge commercial relationships and share experiences with other experts, Walloon businesses were also invited to take part in the B2B meetings.
