dedicated summit during GDC, as well as the subjects of many of the sessions
during the main portion of GDC-making conference attendees great potential
developers of new content for phones using the Android(TM) operating system.

In recent years, the smartphone has become one of the most widespread and
widely-used game platforms, and has proven particularly suited to independent
developers experimenting with new and unusual gameplay.

The Game Developers Conference, as the world's largest professional-only
game developer event, has been at the center of the industry's discussions on
these topics, serving as home to the GDC Mobile/Handheld Summit, as well as
the IGF Mobile competition to award handheld game innovation.

"At the GDC, we are constantly looking for ways to help the game
development community learn and thrive. The mobile and independent game
spaces having been providing so many of those opportunities for years now,"
said Meggan Scavio, event director of the Game Developers Conference. "We are
so appreciative that we can better reach those goals by actually putting a
new opportunity - Android-powered devices - into the hands of our attendees."
