Game Developers Conference
The officially titled Game Developers Conference (or GDC) is the largest of such events. Organized by CMP Game Group, it was first held in 1988, and since then has been held at least once a year. ArenaNet attended the conference in March of 2010, represented by art director Daniel Dociu, who gave a presentation about the art direction of Guild Wars 2. The slideshow that accompanied his speech featured various pieces of concept art from both Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2.
