Building on the success of the first ever Vancouver Game Summit in 2007, the Game Developers Conference (GDC) has announced that they will be coming to Vancouver for Digital Week in May of 2009.
The Vancouver Game Summit is dedicated in bringing the Canadian sector into the forefront of game development for the new generation of consoles. For the last two years, the summit has served a diverse audience that included programmers, artists, game designers, producers and studio leads. The GDC wants to continue serving these developers by giving them quality content, and bringing in speakers who offer fresh viewpoints.
Greg Spievak, CEO of Reboot Communications, one of the companies helping to organize the event, has served the Canadian game development community for the past few years and is proud to have put in the time and effort to bring this conference to Vancouver.
"We are proud to have served the Canadian game development community over the last few years," said Spievak. "Together, we will serve this major game development region with the focus and resources it deserves."
Vancouver Digital Week, which is organized by New Media BC, will provide partnership opportunities for the digital industry that will have innovators from around the world attending. The participants at this conference will be able to get an exclusive look at the latest trends and markets in digital media.
Kenton Low, president of New Media BC, is excited that the GDC will be hosting in Vancouver next year.
"Vancouver Digital Week will be more compelling with the addition of GDC Canada," said Low, who anticipates that the inclusion of GDC in Digital Week will allow those aspiring minds attending to network and exchange ideas on future innovations.
