I always like GDC, but I usually only go for the ‘core’ days of the event (Wed-Fri). In 2008, I’m going to be in town all week. The reason? The Worlds in Motion Summit, which is explained by Simon Carless over on the GameSetWatch site. It’s (of course) an online games/worlds thingie, and is going to take place on Monday and Tuesday of GDC week. Fascinatin’.

The Worlds in Motion Summit is a definitive event tailored for the growing number of industry professionals and Fortune 500 companies developing interactive online spaces for both entertainment and commercial purposes. Discussion forums will delve into online worlds, social gaming and media and player created activity. These will provide insight for developers of all backgrounds into how the game industry is collectively building socialization into games and integrating personalization and player-generated content into gameplay — while widely accessible Web and networking tools are looking to the game industry for their way forward.
