GDoC 2021 Weekend Schedule Is Massive


Get your tickets.

The showcase event for Game Devs of Color Expo happened today, but there are so many more speaking events to come over the next few days. Tickets to the event are still available and cost just $20, with the event running through September 26. There is genuinely a massive amount of information and speaking events going on this year, and to show just what people can expect I painstakingly went through and grabbed every event just for Friday, September 24.

And there are two more days of speakers coming after this list. There’s a huge amount of topics to cover this weekend, and it’s something anyone even slightly interested in the industry should be tuning into. In addition to the events, there are opportunities for networking and a job board for those seeking employment as a developer.
