LIVE Watch Party - GDoCExpo 2024 (Bellevue, WA)
New for the 2024 Game Devs of Color Expo, we are introducing LIVE watch parties, allowing attendees to meet in-person. GDoCExpo 2024 sessions will be broadcast live to the venue, and space will be available for attendees to mingle and network.
We've partnered with ArenaNet, a Bellevue-based developer, who are generously providing their office for this event.

As well as this, all attendees will also be required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement as part of the registration process. Signature of the NDA is compulsory for all attendees.
