PSA: Use the Session Scheduler to get the most out of GDC 2016

The Game Developers Conference is one month away, so now's the perfect time for attendees to sort out their schedules to ensure get the most from the March conference.

(And if you're not attending, don't worry -- there's still time to register now!)

To help streamline your planning process, conference officials encourage you to take advantage of the free GDC 2016 Session Scheduler to plan out which talks you'd like to attend and ensure you don't miss anything the show has to offer.

If you've never used the Session Scheduler before, it's a fairly straightforward process to get started: simply select "Create Account" from the Session Scheduler page and provide a valid email address, then start adding talks to your personal GDC 2016 schedule.

When you have a Session Scheduler account you can download the companion GDC Mobile app via iTunes or Google Play and log in with your account credentials to access your personal GDC schedule on the go.

If you already have the GDC Mobile app on your device, it's important that you update to the latest version!

The app allows users to view the full GDC 2016 session roster, create and export customized schedules, locate exhibitors on the Expo Floor, and directly request meetings with exhibitors via the app's 'Exhibitors' section.

This has been made possible in association with the GDC business matchmaking service, through which users can identify, contact, and request and schedule meetings with exhibitors. This valuable mobile resource should help make your life a little easier when it comes to connecting with the numerous other industry professionals at the show.

In addition to these scheduling and business matchmaking features, the app also allows attendees to view event photos, check-in to specific sessions and locations, and generally stay in tune with all the exciting things happening during the GDC week.

GDC 2016 itself will take place March 14-18th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. For more information on GDC 2016, visit the show's official website, or subscribe to regular updates via Facebook, Twitter, or RSS.
