GDC Next (the successor to GDC Online) focuses on what's next in smartphone & tablet, social, independent, cloud and other major forms of games.

Whether you are a designer, programmer/architect, producer, artist, marketer, businessperson or all of the above, you'll find this show vital to making great games - and - making money in the most vibrant new areas of the game industry.

Coming to the U.S. West Coast next year, GDC Next will debut November 5-7, 2013 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and will be co-located with the App Developers Conference.
