Game Devs of Color Expo Returns This September

Featuring talks, panels, interviews, and more, the Game Devs of Color Expo is returning for its ninth year to connect gaming professionals and indie developers from all over the world in one unique event.

Kicking off on September 18, the Game Devs of Color Expo will take place online via the Swapcard platform. Speaking on the upcoming event, Catt Small, co-organizer of Games Devs of Color, said, "In our ninth year, we are joyful to continue highlighting some of the best voices in the gaming industry.

As a speaker at GDoCExpo, you won't need to reveal traumatic experiences for others to consume. We want to hear what you love about making games — what inspires you, and how you build your work. Non-technical and technical talks are all welcome."

Submissions are now open for people within the games industry to share their insights, experiences, and games with the community via talks and panels. Developers can also submit their games for consideration starting today.

The organization has announced that all speakers will be paid, and that there are no submission or exhibition fees for developers. Additionally, all selected speakers and games are automatically entered into consideration for one of the Game Devs of Color Expo's grants, which awards up to $25,000 per recipient.
