The 2025 edition of the Game Developers Conference will be hosted as a live trade fair at the Moscone Convention Center between the 17th and 21st of March 2025. The event venue will not feature strict coronavirus precautions. This is due to the country repealing its pandemic restrictions.
The Game Developer's Conference (GDC) is one of the biggest and most important conferences slash expos within the gaming industry in the world. This annual event runs out of different locations, but is currently based in San Francisco at the Moscone Center. Every year GDC seems to grow bigger and attendance records reflect this clearly – the edition in 2019 scoring the highest attendance record in its entire history. That’s 29,000 international visitors. The expo itself offered solutions and products from 550 exhibitors in total. That makes the Game Developers Conference a premier platform for innovation, business, and networking.
GDC defies definitions and limits as it’s become such a monumental event with an area dedicated to just about any form of hardware, software, and solution for game development. The platforms have certainly grown to include consoles, mobile and handheld devices, tablets, online, computer games and most recently VR and AR. GDC is also the place to learn and play new releases as well as enjoy playable indie games, retro games and alternative controllers. The conference portion of the event is exceptionally elaborate with more than 800 items to enjoy from lectures to panels to discussions. The audience is varied and has come to include developers, engineers, trainees, distributors, programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals and publishers.

The GDC took place between 21-25.03.2022 as a hybrid trade exposition at the Moscone Convention Center. It incorporated strict coronavirus precautions, including social distancing. The edition received over 17,000 participants, including 12,000 in-person and 5,000 online visitors. Also, it featured over 1,000 speakers and more than 200 exhibitors.
GDC 2023 was a hybrid trade exposition. The live aspect occurred in the Moscone Convention Center between 20-24.03.2023 and received over 28 000 attendants. The complementary digital aspect occurred between 27-29.06.2023. The venue did not include coronavirus precautions due to the United States removing its national pandemic restrictions in the later months of 2022.
GDC 2024 was a live trade exposition hosted in the Moscone Convention Center between 18-22.03.2024. It received around 30 000 participants. Similar to the 2023 format, it did not feature coronavirus precautions.
Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.

Hi my name is Phillip from the Medit Field Marketing team. We stayed at the Leonardo Hotel during the IDS, and the condition was great! The room service, hospitality, room conditions. We will be participating in the IDS again and would love to stay at this hotel again. Looking forward to meeting you again!
Nice house and nice location to fair ground.
It’s very convenient that the supermarket is just across the street.
The host is also nice to help for transportation to train station.
Only disappointed that the electric kettle is not clean.

Hi Christine,
I’ve appreciated your service and in particular your flexibility. We usually don’t know which staff will be attending our exhibitions until very near the time, and your flexibility with this is important to us and much appreciated.
The rate for the hotel was reasonable. It was near the upper end of our budget, but good value I think, considering the following feedback from staff:
“Hotel was fine, rooms were good and had no problems. Only potential issue was the limited parking, but this didn’t affect me last week.”
“Would definitely stay there again. Staff were really pleasant and helpful, food was good and the location was pretty good too.”
“I would stop there again no problem good rooms good food and good location for city centre.”
Many thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,
Rachel
