EA Limiting GDC 2020 Presence - News

Tweet

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Facebook last week announced they have cancelled their attendance at GDC 2020 due to the concerns over the coronavirus (CODVID19).  More recently, Kojima Productions announced they would also be skipping the conference.

Electronic Arts' Ad Product Development Specialist Alex Sherer announced via LinkedIn EA would be limiting their presence at GDC 2020. 

"Just received word from corporate, and EA will be limiting our presence at GDC, cancelling our participation in official GDC events, and all EA employees have been advised to not travel to San Francisco for the conference," said Sherer.

I'm terribly sorry, but this means I will be cancelling any and all GDC related meetings, dinners, coffee meetups and mixers. I will do my best to send individual communications as well, but please know I send my deepest regrets that I won't be seeing everyone for GDC 2020.

"Please be safe everyone, travel only if/when it is necessary, and hopefully we will all meet-up IRL when the global climate and safety permit."
