For the seventh year in a row, AWEX, with the support of Digital Wallonia, organised a promotional stand at the “Game Developers Conference” (GDC), which took place from 19 to 23 March 2018 in San Francisco. An opportunity to find out about the Walloon companies that took part in this unmissable event for the gaming world.
The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is one of the biggest events in the world for the video games industry. It is exclusively aimed at professionals. The latest news on development tools, platforms and services is presented there.
GDC is organised by the Think Services Game Group, a division of United Business Media. Originally, the event only attracted a handful of designers, but it has since established itself as an unmissable event for video game developers.
35,000 professionals in 2017
GDC broke all records in terms of visitor numbers in 2017, with the presence of more than 35,000 professionals. Large numbers of developers, publishers artists, game designers, sound engineers etc. flocked to the event.
Given the success enjoyed by Walloon businesses in 2017, we were back with an AWEX & Digital Wallonia stand covering 92m², in the South Hall, alongside giants like Facebook and Oculus.
Alongside the exhibition areas, there were more than 400 events including seminars, readings, discussions, tutorials and roundtable discussions led by professionals from the industry.
The International Game Developers Association also handed out the Game Developers Choice Awards to video game developers who had stood out with their innovative achievements. It was also at this event that the Independent Games Festival took place.
