Canadian Game Development Community Returning in 2010

Having a successful debut in 2009, or just a successful show in 2009, doesn’t guarantee that there will be a show in 2010 (there are a lot of gaming shows that have yet to make mention of their intent to reconvene this year or not).  The Canadian Game Development Community show is one of the lucky ones that will be coming back this year on May 6 and 7th.  The 2009 show was made home by over 800 Canadian game developers, it will be interesting to see the turnout this year.

Topics that will be featured this year include Digital Distribution, social games, iPhone games and many more.  This year’s advisory board features Brenda Bailey (Deep Fried Entertainment), Steve Bocska (Pug Pharm), Howard Donaldson (Disney Interactive Studios), Dave Elton (EA Blackbox), Tabitha Hayes (EA), Dan Irish (Threewave), Jerome Kashetsky (National Research Council of Canada), Colin Macrae (EA), Gerri Sinclair (Great Northern Way Campus), Tarrnie Williams (EA), Kerry Whalen, (Ubisoft), and Kelly Zmak (Radical Entertainment).

“Attendees to this year’s GDC Canada will gain new insights to current technologies across different game platforms as well as new business opportunities and distribution models,” said Izora de Lillard, event director. “We’re proud return to Vancouver and provide the forum for Canadian developers to connect, celebrate, and further the industry.”
