Going to GDC is something that I allows knew that I wanted to go to my senior year at Champlain, hearing only great things from past senior classes about the expo. The first few days were pretty interesting, my favorite talks that I went to were the Level Design in a Day that happened on Tuesday, which had talks all throughout the day about everything level design. I went to a lot of those talks and really enjoyed them, some were more interesting than helpful but here were certainly those that were actually beneficial to listen to and take notes on (such as the history and future of level design in the industry.)
But when the expo opened up on Wednesday is when it was really time to bring the A game, having so many awesome meetings with studios that Daphne. Going to meet the Activision recruiters that Champlain has been fostering a great relationship with was great and we also were invited to come to the Activision after party that day. A few of us went to it and had not only a great time but also invaluable networking opportunities, meeting developers from Infinity Ward and being directed to there hiring manager to talk about current and future possible position openings.
