Titled 'GDC Play' and inspired by the success of the Independent Games Festival Pavilion at GDC, the new initiative will include space in special Pavilions themed around emerging game markets. The program will allow GDC Play exhibitors to display their games to key distributors, publishers, press and investors visiting each conference.

When signing up for GDC Play, which is open to a range of emerging developers showcasing playable games, game creators will be given a standalone kiosk with a monitor, keyboard, speakers and internet connection, as applicable.

This makes the new area into a simple, lower-cost opportunity to exhibit titles to prospective business partners, investors and the press.
