Prospective GDC 2016 speakers, take note: Conference organizers would like to remind you that the call for submissions to present talks, roundtables, and panel sessions for the Game Developers Conference 2016 Summits and the debut Virtual Reality Developers Conference closes in just two days!
This Friday, October 2nd at 11:59 PM Pacific, to be specific. If you have a talk you think would be a good fit for the GDC Summits or VRDC, that's your deadline to pitch it!
