Diving deep into all things gaming, the Conference packs a punch with over 150 sessions. Marquee speakers of the likes of industry veteran Jordan Weisman have already confirmed to add depth to this much-awaited event.
Jordan was the brain behind BattleTech, MechWarrior and Shadowrun, some of the RPG industry’s longest lasting franchises, a press release said.
In its amplified new avatar, IGDC will feature over a hundred booths spread across a large expo area. Lined up to keep the event riveted to core gaming, the Conference has the IGDC Awards Night, Indie Initiative, Policy Round Tables, Workshops and much more.
This year’s IGDC Awards takes it a notch higher with a newly instituted ‘International Game Award.’ Ten award categories and two special jury awards are on offer as usual.
Sridhar Muppidi, President, GDAI notes, “With over 442 million gamers and an industry growing at a staggering 30% annually, India’s vibrant youth, widespread smartphone adoption, and a booming digital ecosystem have made it one of the world’s fastest-emerging gaming markets.”
