GDC 2012 welcomes 22,500 attendees, 17% increase from prior year

The 2012 Game Developers Conference broke an attendance record with 22,500 souls spending some amount of time inside San Francisco’s Moscone Center. The show saw a 17 percent increase in admissions from the previous year, and hosted over 300 exhibitors and sponsors, along with the 14th Annual IGF and the 12th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards.

“The continued growth of the conference is a great indicator of a healthy and exciting industry,” said GDC general manager Meggan Scavio. ” We are very proud to provide the forum for game makers to connect, dialogue, showcase, and learn in sessions, summits, expos and pavilions every year.”
