GDC 2026 Festival of Gaming Details Unveiled As Registration Opens
Seeing a reimagined new format in 2026, the Game Developers Conference (GDC) Festival of Gaming is set to provide five days of nightly activities and offerings for everyone from all corners of the industry next March.
A reimagined GDC, the Festival of Gaming has been designed for the entire ecosystem to connect and learn.
Happening from March 9-13, 2026 in and around San Francisco’s Moscone Center has been designed for networking, and will feature a unified content program across all five days.
When it comes to the Hall, attendees can check it out from Wednesday to Friday as they visit its five neighborhoods: Game Development, Future Tech, Indie & Education, International, Monetization & Player Engagement.
Mark DeLoura, GDC’s Executive Director of Innovation and Growth, said the following:
“In a time of great change, we can build walls or build bridges — and the game industry has always thrived by coming together.
The GDC Festival of Gaming strengthens those connections, celebrating creativity and supporting everyone who brings games to life, from napkin sketch to global launch.”
Nina Brown, President of GDC, also said the following:
“We are excited to reveal the blueprint for GDC Festival of Gaming, celebrating the vital interconnection between creators, leaders, and partners that drive the industry forward.
This new era is rooted in dialogue with our community.
And it’s only the beginning.”
