GDC Canada Opens Today

The Game Developers Conference Canada kicked off today at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center (VCEC). Our own Scott Jones is giving a panel there - which I suspect he’ll talk about at some point - and he should be occasionally blogging about other highlights from the event. GDC Canada is a bit more low key than its North American counterpart, which is a good thing, because it means more face time with actual developers, movers and shakers for those fortunate enough to be able to attend.

Building on the success of the Vancouver International Games Summit, GDC Canada is a two day forum for Canadian developers to share knowledge, and engage in sessions with leaders of Canada’s game development community. Don Mattrick, senior vice president, Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft, kicked off GDC Canada with a keynote address entitled The Evolution of the Canadian Game Industry: A Conversation with Don Mattrick.
