LIVE Watch Party - GDoCExpo 2024 (New York City)
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 NYU Game Center, a department of the Tisch School of the Arts, who have generously donated their space to host this Watch Party. Expect games stations, networking opportunities, and of course streaming of all Game Devs of Color Expo Friday presentations!
