The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is one of the most important gaming conferences in the world, where 20-30 thousand industry professionals from all over the world gather. This festival also has an important focus on topics related to the game audio which is of course the main interest for Europe In Synch. So, for this years edition (18-24 March 2023) we sent a mission to San Francisco to learn more.

Our goal with such missions, i.e. familiarization trips to film, gaming and advertising festivals is to grow our network in these sectors and bring the contacts we have made closer to the European music sector in the future. We were also at GDC to better familiarize ourselves with the processes and possibilities of using music in the field of gaming.

The aim is to attend panels and various roundtables to build knowledge from a game audio and licensing perspective, take part in networking events to grow the contact base and we have also prepared meetings with some key people from the industry. Europe In Synch was represented by ambassadors Marii Reimann from Music Estonia and Nikolina Finska from Rebel Studios.
