I got a leaflet the other day from my friend who is part of GDC. It says, GDC which stands for Game Developers Conference 2012 is preparing itself with major arrangements towards March 2012 event with two new specialized Summits- Games For Change and Game IT Summits. These Summits will kick-off Game Developers Conference 2012 during the first two days of the conference, which runs March 5th-9th, 2012 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The Summit events will cover pertinent topics in emerging sectors of the games industry, particularly focusing on broadening the scope of the medium to encompass new audiences, new platforms, and of course new gameplay ideas. After having a read, I gave a thought of having a summit like this for my company and even talked about this to my friends working for Appco Group.

This year, as GDC adding two more brand new events to the existing lineup for the March 5th-6th Summits, there must be something that GDC looks forward.

The first one, "Games for Change" is an event hosted in partnership with the Games for Change non-profit organization, which facilitates the creation and distribution of games that exist for humanitarian or educational purposes. This new GDC event, which complements the annual Games for Change Festival in New York, will allow funders, educators, governmental agencies, and other organizations to interact with indie and commercial game developers to help leverage interactive entertainment for social good.

The latter Game IT Summit is a daylong event, curated by notables such as Jane McGonigal, Ian Bogost and Ben Sawyer, that explores how video games can be used to tackle common organizational goals, encouraging discussions about the link between games and the technology-oriented practices used by today's forward-thinking organizations.

Yes, GDC looks forward at these two new summits to continue to offer attendees a unique opportunity to participate in diverse conversations that will shape the technology landscape for years to come. A good move that anyone can adopt after fine-tuning it for the respective industries.
