By james_fudge

If you were wondering how much of a success the recent Game Developers Conference Canada was, then you need look no further than GDC Canada's own accounting on the matter. According to organizers of the event attendance numbers were in line with 2009; 775 game industry professionals gathered last week for the two day event, to listen to and partake in 35 lectures, panels, and sessions.

Bill Mooney, a Vice President at Zynga Studios and General Manager of FarmVille, kicked off GDC Canada with a keynote on the social gaming space and its future. GDC Canada also featured the Game Career Seminar, an expo area, a business to business lounge and networking receptions where attendees met with representatives from Epic Games, Radical, Relic, Blue Castle, Hansoft and Sony Computer Entertainment.

Next year's event, taking place in May 2011, will coincide with the Vancouver Interactive Digital Week 2011. Get more info at www.gdconf.com.
