Some of the leading players in the games industry from Ireland have
come together at GDC for the first time.
Backed by the government
agency, Enterprise Ireland, Selatra, Nephin Games and DemonWare will be
in attendance individually and as a social grouping, spearheading the
emerging games technology cluster in Ireland.
"While we have
supported the individual comapnies in the past, this is the first time
that we have decided to support and bring these companies together in
full force at GDC, the premier conference for building new
relationships in the games sector, Across the spectrum from mobile
content creation to online networking middleware, these world class
companies are at the forefront of games development in Ireland." said
Maggie Daleo of Enterprise Ireland.
At the end of the expo on Wednesday and Thursday evening, look out for the Irish party trolley outside Moscone West.
