GDC, the largest gathering of game developers on the planet, will take place in San Francisco from March 17 to 21. Together with Flanders Investment & Trade, we’ve got a few incentives for you to cross the ocean and make this event worthwhile. With a brand-new meeting hub and a showcase event on offer, you can choose what fits your business purpose/schedule best.
Flanders will have a united presence close to Moscone with a Meeting Hub powered by Representing Games. If you are a Flemish game company looking to reach out to publishers, investors or other business contacts in a relaxed and professional set-up, this is by far the best offer you’ll get. Claim your spot alongside companies such as Xsolla, Humble games and publishers Kwalee, United Label & VPublishing; to name a few.
Meeting spot at the Representing Games Meeting hub: €500,-
- Your own meeting space with a table, chairs, Wifi and electricity.
- Location: 431 Tehama Street, San Francisco; 2 blocks from Moscone
- 5 days access: 17th-21st of March
- 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 drinks, are provided for.

- Not included: GDC Expo pass.

As usual, Flanders Investment & Trade also secured some free showcase spots at Courage XL, the most informal and friendly Indie Showcase, happening just before GDC kicks off. Over 50 indie developers will present their work at the Great Northern in San Francisco on Sunday evening March 16th, the perfect place to break the ice for a week full of networking, mingling, and partying.
Showcase spot at Courage XL: free
- Your own showcase table with Wifi and electricity.
- Location: 119 Utah Street, San Francisco
- March 16th, 7-11.30 PM
- Concept: Play a game, get a beer. You’ll get a few drink tokens to hand out to your contacts/players.
- Previous years, the event welcomed over 1000 professionals
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.
The presence of the #FlemishGamesIndustry at GDC25 wouldn’t be possible without the effort of FIT. Thank you!
