"The GDC reflects the full spectrum of the game development community," said Meggan Scavio, general manager of the Game Developers Conference. "The continued growth of the conference is a great indicator of a healthy and exciting industry. We are very proud to provide the forum for game makers to connect, dialogue, showcase, and learn in sessions, summits, expos and pavilions every year."
