Heads up, game makers: The call for Mandarin and English submissions to present talks for the 2015 Game Developers Conference China is still open, but it closes this Friday, May 22nd at 23:49 PST.

Organized by UBM Tech Game Network, the 8th annual GDC China will take place in October this year, running the 25th to the 27st at the Shanghai International Convention Center in Shanghai, China.

GDC China continues to be the premier professional conference for the creators of games and interactive entertainment in Asia. Chosen speakers can join the world's leading developers to exchange ideas, be inspired, and to further advance the business, knowledge and technology behind game creation in Asia.
