Think Services' Game Group has entered into a partnership with Reboot Communications to present Game Developers Conference (GDC) Canada in association with New Media BC's Vancouver Digital Week in May 2009.
"GDC's strength is in its ability to translate its core values to provide both global and local relevance," Kathy Schoback, Executive Vice President of Global Events, Think Services, said. "We are incredibly excited to partner with Reboot and New Media BC on GDC Canada, which will serve the regional development community with conference content designed to engender learning, networking and inspiration."
The first Vancouver Game Summit, dedicated to bringing the Canadian sector international perspectives on developing games for the new generation of consoles, took place in 2007. For the last two years, the Summit has served an audience of programmers, artists, game designers, producers, and studio leads. GDC Canada will retain the focus of serving developers, and promises to bring GDC-quality conference content through top-tier speakers offering fresh viewpoints.
"We are proud to have served the Canadian game development community over the last few years," Greg Spievak, CEO of Reboot Communications, said. "Bringing the deep connections and expertise of the GDC to the community will take the developer event to the next level, and together we will serve this major game development region with the focus and resources it deserves."
