GDC is coming to China

Game Developers Conference organiser CMP has announced the dates and location for its inaugural Chinese event, which is being organised in partnership with technology, media and events firm IDG.

GDC China will run this year from August 27th to 29th in Shanghai, and is being planned in cooperation with an advisory board consisting of local Chinese developers.

The conference, which joins the main North American GDC event (this year's conference is currently running in San Francisco) and its European offshoot, GDC London / GDC Europe, is aimed specifically at promoting and supporting the vast Chinese game development industry.

More information on GDC China is available at the official website, gdcchina.cn.
