GDC might not yet be the first thing on your mind but if you’d like to join the largest gathering of game developers on the planet, now is the time to get moving. GDC will once again take place in San Francisco from March 18 to 22. Together with Flanders Investment & Trade, we’ve got plenty of incentives for you to cross the ocean and make this conference worthwhile.

Just like previous years, Belgium will have a united presence on the Expo floor with a BelgianGames booth. Exhibiting spaces are limited, so if you are a Flemish game company that wants to have the best shot at presenting your products or services during the biggest b2b games event in the world, this is by far the best offer you’ll get. Pricing is a bit different than last year. Flanders Investment & Trade has pricing models for SME’s and special prices for companies that never participated in GDC. Here are the options at a glance:

Product Sample Booth: €2000,- regular price and €1800,- for newcomers

• Your own exhibiting space (approx. 3 sqm) with a table and chairs, screen, locker and personal branding.
• All logistics are taken care of. You just have to show up to do your business.
• Essentials to beat that jetlag, such as (good) coffee and soft drinks, are provided for.
• Exhibitor staff passes for you and your colleagues.
• A one-time 25% discount on a conference ticket of your choice.
• Access to Meet2Match to schedule meetings upfront.
• Your company name and logo in the GDC exhibitor database.

Basic Package (meeting point): €750,- regular price and €500,- for newcomers

• Use of meeting rooms on the BelgianGames booth (first come, first served).
• Essentials to beat that jetlag, such as (good) coffee and soft drinks, are provided for.
• 1 Exhibitor staff pass to access the Expo floor.
• Access to Meet2Match to schedule meetings upfront.
• A one-time 25% discount on a conference ticket of your choice.

There’s also the option of booking a larger space on the joint booth (6sqm). Check all options below.

We’re well aware that the trip across the Atlantic is expensive and that San Francisco isn’t the cheapest place on earth to spend the night, but keep in mind that Flanders Investment & Trade can offer you a refund up to 50% of your travel & accommodation costs. Please make sure to fill out the necessary paperwork (link in Dutch) in advance to do so.

We’re crafting plans for a cool network/showcase event and will share more details at a later time. What’s important now is securing your place on the booth as soon as possible and at the very latest before Nov 15th.

The presence of the #BelgianGamesIndustry at GDC24 wouldn’t be possible without the joint effort of these organisations with a heart for games: thank you FIT & AWEX!
