The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is joining The AI Summit New York to present the GDC Stage and GDC Zone.

As part of the event, GDC will partner with the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME), New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and New York City Tourism + Conventions at the event.

Stephenie Hawkins, Event Director of GDC, said the following:

“Since GDC began more than 35 years ago, the event has served to expand teaching, learning and full recognition of the craft of game development. With the emergence of new and exciting generative AI technology, there’s never been a better time to explore the uncharted future of machine-assisted creativity than The AI Summit New York.

NYC itself is a hotbed of incredibly skilled talent and technical resources, with a thriving game development community of its own. We’re excited to see what the future of NYC game development holds, and we hope that GDC Zone and GDC Stage will present the first steps towards that future.”

NYC Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, Pat Swinney Kaufman, added:

“New York City has always been a global center of innovation, and this administration is laser focused on taking that to the next level by partnering with GDC as they join The AI Summit New York for the first time.

The Digital Games industry is a major job creator and contributor to NYC’s economy, and the summit is sure to inspire new ideas and open doors to career opportunities at the intersection of game development and AI.”

New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) Executive Vice President, Innovation Industries Jonathan Schulhof, also said the following:

“As the digital gaming community in New York City continues to grow, we’re excited to partner with the Game Developer’s Conference at this year’s AI Summit.

As we dive into the future of artificial intelligence throughout the five boroughs, NYCEDC is thrilled that the game development community will play a central role in 21st-century innovation.”

The AI Summit New York will take place at the Javits Convention Center on December 11-12, 2024.
