Organizers of the Game Developers Conference have once again donated a number of complimentary GDC 2017 passes that will be given away (via lottery) as part of a special low-income GDC pass program.
Part of organizers' ongoing efforts to attract a diverse array of the game industry's best and brightest, the complimentary Expo Passes awarded via the Low Income Pass Lottery are intended for participants who would otherwise not be able to attend GDC without considerable financial assistance.
The guidelines for applying are relatively straightforward:
- One entry per person.
- You may enter for this pass each year if you have need.
- If you are awarded a pass, we will automatically register you.
- These passes are non-transferrable and have no cash value.
- If you have already purchased a pass to GDC 2017, you are not eligible to enter.
If you're interested in taking part, please know that the deadline for applying to the lottery is January 18th.
GDC 2017 itself will take place February 27th - March 3rd at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. For more information on GDC 2017, visit the show's official website, or subscribe to regular updates via Facebook, Twitter, or RSS.
