GDC（Game Developers Conference）是全球最大的遊戲開發者交流活動，本會自2011年起派員參訪GDC，並將研習心得與相關資訊和國內獨立遊戲開發者交流。GDC 2018於3月19至23日在美國舊金山舉行，內容包含遊戲開發經驗分享、技術解析、經營管理與趨勢分析等議題，會場內同時還有多個不同主題的展覽。
　　GDC is the world's largest professional game industry event where game developers gather to exchange ideas. Since 2011, the ARF has been sending representatives to the annual GDC, and they have been sharing their feedback and exchanging related information with independent game developers in Taiwan. GDC 2018 was held in San Francisco from March 19 to 23. The event included experience sharing, technical tutorials, and discussions of topics on business management and trend analysis. It also featured exhibitions covering many themes.
　　今年度大會中所關注的議題，除了過去幾年討論一直都相當熱絡的VR/AR及AI類別之外，區塊鍊技術之於遊戲開發上的應用也成為新興焦點。本會特別關注的獨立遊戲相關活動，如「獨立遊戲節」入圍作品展出、「另類操作介面展」與「實驗性遊戲發表議程」等，仍然充滿令人驚奇的創新與實驗作品，並將相關資訊與見聞帶回國內、於今年4月28日之GDC分享會中與台灣的開發者社群交流，增進創作視野。
　　Besides topics concerning VR, AR and AI, which have been hot topics for the past few years, blockchain's application in game development has also become an emerging focus at this year's event. Indie game related activities, such as nominated games at the "Independent Games Festival", and the "Alt. Ctrl. GDC" and "Experimental Gameplay Workshop", continue to fascinate with amazing innovations and experimental games. Related information and knowledge gained were shared with the game developers' community at post-GDC seminar on April 28, broadening everyone's creative vision in Taiwan.
