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 20 to 24. 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. Flanders Investment & Trade has the following options on offer for you:

Product Sample Booth: € 1000

• Your own exhibiting space (approx. 4 m²) with a table and two chairs, screen, locker and personal branding.
• All logistics are taken care of. You just have to show up to do your business.
• With a shared welcome desk and several meeting rooms you can use, you’re all set for the day.
• 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 GDC exhibitor database.

Basic Package: € 250

• Use of meeting rooms on the BelgianGames booth (first come, first served).
• 1 Exhibitor staff pass to access the Expo floor.
• Access to Meet2Match to schedule meetings upfront.

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 for 50% of your travel & accommodation costs. Please make sure to fill out the necessary paperwork (link in Dutch) in advance to do so.

On top of that, thanks to the wonderful peeps at United Airlines, we were able te secure a discount code of 10% for flights with United Airlines to (and from) GDC. The discount code only applies to members of FLEGA, WALGA or games.brussels. To get your hands on that code, drop us a line.

We’re crafting plans for a cool network/showcase event and will share more details at a later time. All that’s important now is securing your place on the booth as soon as possible and at the very latest before Nov 30.

The presence of the #BelgianGamesIndustry at GDC23 wouldn’t be possible without the joint effort of these organisations with a heart for games: thank you FIT & AWEX!
