We’ve put together another great list of events you can attend for the month. As we continue our adventure into springtime, the event season settles into a solid cadence post-GDC with more conferences coming up.
Many of the conferences listed in April will have sessions and discussions about the state of the industry that continue from GDC (which was unusually low in attendance… we’ll have a separate post on this shortly). The most prominent talking point at GDC was, sadly, the continuing layoffs and investment troubles that nearly every major studio (and many indies) are facing. We actually reported on this LAST YEAR, though fortunately there are some signs that 2025 may be the turnaround year we’ve been waiting for.
Check out the complete April event list below, but first…
