Game Developers Conference 2009 registration has just opened up and low and behold, press registration is invite only. If you are already affiliated with the PR house that does the GDC invites, you’re probably in luck. If not, there will be a lot of hoping and praying like last summer’s E3.
I think that GDC is one of the best gaming industry related events all year. If you run a game website, THIS is the show you should get into! Lots of food and drink, lots of games and lots of chances to talk to developers.
