About GDC - Game Developers Conference and Expo

The 2011 Game Developers Conference is now soliciting session proposals from speakers with deep industry expertise and a fresh and unique perspective on the state of the videogames industry. If you share our passion and commitment for videogames, submit your proposal by 11:59pm (ET) on Wednesday, August 25th.

Please take a few minutes to read the submission requirements, the process for submitting, the list of topics for each track, and what is expected from you as a speaker.

Vendor Specific Proposals

The Game Developers Conference does not accept product or vendor related submissions. If your talk is a thinly-veiled advertisement for a new product, technology or service your company is offering, please do not apply. If you would like to publicize a product, please contact our sales team for information on exhibiting and other vendor opportunities, including sponsored sessions.

All presentations must be submitted by the original authors

We currently only accept submissions by original authors of the presentations. PR firms, speaking relation firms, and all other parties who are not direct authors of submitted presentations are discouraged from submitting a proposal on behalf of their clients/speakers. We require direct contact with presenters to expedite questions during the submission review process.
