From March 17 – 21 in San Francisco, the Game Developers Conference (GDC) returns, offering game developers a platform to explore cutting-edge technologies through expert-led talks, panels, and workshops.
This year, seven B.C. delegates will attend GDC with support from Creative BC’s Passport to Markets program. The program provides travel support to B.C.-based creative media professionals to access key international markets, conferences, and co-production and co-financing events. Creative BC’s support offsets a portion of travel, accommodation and registration expenses.
The Passport to Markets program is designed to assist producers in exploring co-production partnerships and developing relationships with broadcasters, distributors, and financiers.
