This year, the Game Developer’s Conference will hold an event one week later in 2021 and two smaller shows next month. But due to concerns over COVID-19, the conference and all of its events will be entirely online.
Next month, users will be able to check out the GDC Masterclass from March 4th to 5th and the Showcase events on March 15th and 19th. The Masterclass is actually a series of workshops where users can learn more about the challenges that modern game developers face. The Showcase, however, is a free show where developers will offer lectures and question and answer sessions for fans of their work.
There will be a more traditional GDC conference taking place July 19-23, but it will also be entirely online. Despite being online, this event will offer developers the usual opportunities to learn and network with each other. And on July 21, the Independent Games Festival and Game Developers Choice Awards will take place, and nominations for the awards will be announced in May.
Obviously, the online format will make these events very different from how they were in years past. But on the bright side, online events will make these events more accessible than ever.
