The Game Developers Conference®-- the world’s longest running and largest professionals only event dedicated to game development -- introduces GDC Play as a unique opportunity for emerging developers to showcase their games to fellow GDC attendees.

Inspired by the success of the Independent Games Festival Pavilion at GDC, the new initiative will include space in special Pavilions themed around emerging game markets. The program will allow GDC Play exhibitors to display their games to key distributors, publishers, press and investors visiting the conference. GDC Play Pavilions for social & online, smartphone & tablet, and independent games will all located within a dedicated room and include a networking lounge with seating areas for more in-depth meetings.
GDC 2012 will also host an exclusive, invitation-only event to showcase the games at GDC Play.  The guest list will include GDC Play exhibitors, sponsors, select publishers and members of the press, investors & other decision makers.

When signing up for GDC Play, which is open to a range of emerging developers showcasing playable games, game creators will be given a standalone kiosk with a monitor, keyboard, speakers and Internet connection, as applicable. This makes it an incredibly simple, low-cost opportunity to exhibit titles to prospective business partners, investors and the press.
