    Game Developers Conference: will return in 2021 in physical and digital versions

    The emergency COVID-19 has changed the way conferences and events are organized around the world, but there Game Developers Conference it will return anyway in 2021 (for now it has been scheduled from 19 to 23 July), albeit with some changes. In fact, it will consist of a hybrid version: partly in presence, if conditions permit, partly digital. We are talking about one of the main videogame conferences, where creators and experts meet and create important collaborations; productions are announced, agreements are made. Fan trends are analyzed and, in a sense, the future of the sector is planned.



    Obviously this year's event has been canceled, along with other parallel events, such as theE3 PAX, which were of course a public health hazard. The organizers promptly fell back on digital versions, which in the meantime have offered new possibilities. The GDC, on the other hand, was rescheduled from March to the summer, but was later converted into a digital version. The plans for 2021 are more ambitious, also thanks to the time available to find new solutions. The digital version will be tested for it to remain structural for future years if successful. Virtual courses will arrive by the end of the year and real virtual community parties will take place from 2021 March XNUMX.

    There will be other important events in 2021 to complement the Game Developers Conference. The Consumer Electronics Show, for example, announced its online debut just a few weeks ago. Also Microsoft products announced in April its intention to organize digital events for next year. Future changes on the progress of the global pandemic could of course change the plans of the organizers, always ready to bring everything back to a live version. Yet, the digital version does not displease the operators, who in this way will be able to reach a much wider audience thanks to the accessibility of the internet.
