BIG Fest @GDC

Black in Gaming will be at GDC this year and sponsoring BIG Fest! Held on **Tuesday, March 19th,** BIG Fest will be a full day of programming leading up to our annual Black in Gaming Awards. While BIG Fest will be during GDC, it will **NOT be a part of GDC programming.** This is an independent function that the foundation is supporting. The programming will consist of five panels throughout the day, featuring Black game developers, educators, and game changers making an impact in our industry. Our panels are: - 📝 The Future of Education in Gaming (10:00AM - 10:45AM PST) - 💡 Innovation in Game Design and Development (11:00AM - 11:45AM PST) - 💵 The Business of Gaming - Challenges and Opportunities (1:00PM - 1:45PM PST) - 🔥 Empowering the Next Generation of Black Game Developers (2:00PM - 2:45PM PST) - 🎵The Music Behind Video Games - Featuring Our Black Composers (3:00PM - 3:45PM PST) BIG Fest is FREE and will be held at the Children’s Creativity Museum, where we’ll have this year’s BIG Awards. All sessions will be recorded. Be on the look out for marketing and messaging from us! More details on our panelist, moderators, and more coming soon.
