The Game Developers Conference returns to San Francisco this March 20-24, 2023—and it's time to send in proposals. The call for submissions to present lectures, panels, and roundtables for Core Concepts at GDC 2023 is now open.
The call for submissions is happening now through Tuesday, August 16 at 11:59pm PT. This includes everything intended for the Core Conference Tracks on the Wednesday through Friday of the event, in the following topics (tracks): Advocacy, Audio, Business & Marketing, Design, Production & Team Leadership, Programming, and Visual Arts.
Later this year, GDC 2023 will be accepting submissions to present lectures and panels for the Summits portion of the event, along with Game Career Seminar. More information on how to submit for Summits and Game Career Seminar will be shared in the coming weeks.
