Host an official Watch Party
Last year, we worked together with partners to host 14 official in-person Watch Parties in cities across North America. We're inviting communities worldwide to host their own!
Do you have a space that you can open up to people in your area? We’d love to work with you to invite your local community to gather and watch the Expo together.
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.
