GDC 2023 introduces new Summits Advisors and the Tabletop Summit

gamedeveloper.com:

The Game Developers Conference is returning to San Francisco this March 20-24, 2023, and organizers are happy to announce some of the newest advisors for the GDC Summits—along with the return of a popular summit, with a few changes.

GDC 2023 is getting ready to accept submissions to present lectures and panels for the Summits portion of the event, which runs on Monday and Tuesday of the conference. Each summit centers on a niche topic within game development and its relevant community, and has its own set of advisors who define the summit’s editorial goals and review the summit’s submissions.

The conference is pleased to announce that the Board Game Design Summit returns for GDC 2023 as the Tabletop Summit. This summit will encompass everything related to board games, tabletop roleplaying games (RPGs), miniatures games, card games, dice games, and more.

The Tabletop Summit has a new Summit Advisor, along with several other GDC Summits. Here's the first round of new Summits Advisors that GDC is proud to share (the second round will be released in the coming days).
