GDC 2008 will be held on 18-22 Febryary 2008 in San Francisco. This week players in a $9.5 billion industry will converge on San Francisco as the 2008 Game Developers Conference begins. Over the week, the brightest minds behind the biggest games will share ideas, look at the newest technologies, and plan for the future.

To all the naysayers yammering about the death of PC gaming: Not so fast. During this year’s GDC, Microsoft, nVidia, AMD, Intel, and several other “small” companies are joining forces to announce the formation of the PC Gaming Alliance. Not much is known about the exact breadth and depth of the announcement, but I have to wonder–will it supplant Microsoft’s “Games for Windows” initiative?

Celebrated inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil will deliver a keynote address at the 2008 Game Developers Conference (GDC) inspiring attendees to take a dramatic look at the future of games and electronic entertainment.

GDC, the world’s largest industry-only event dedicated to the advancement of interactive entertainment, returns to the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco for a week of networking, learning, and inspiration February 18-22, 2008. Complete details and registration for the conference are available now at the official GDC website.
