The GDoC Expo has become a premier setting for professionals to meet and exchange ideas. Game development can be a complex and exhausting process, and it’s important that creators have access to a support network capable of seeing them through the toughest of it.
Events like this are a great way not only to find out more about developers and games you might not have heard about, but also to learn more about game development in general.
