GDC 2026 | MARCH 9 - 13 | SAn FRANCOSCO, CA

WHERE GAMES TAKE OFF

Discord is heading to GDC 2026 to connect with the developers, publishers, and partners shaping the future of games. As the social layer where players already gather before, during, and after gameplay, Discord is uniquely positioned to help game businesses turn connection into sustained engagement, discovery, and revenue.

Throughout the week, we’ll share how leading teams use Discord as a strategic growth platform across the entire game lifecycle. Join us for talks, live demos, private meetings, and partner moments designed to spark meaningful conversations and practical next steps.

You’ll find Discord across multiple touchpoints at GDC, including our Festival Hall booth with hands-on demos and partner features, sponsored sessions and booth talks led by Discord experts and industry leaders, private meeting suites for focused conversations, and a midweek offsite partner event designed to deepen relationships beyond the show floor.

WHY GDC FOR DISCORD?

Game discovery is harder than ever, and player attention is increasingly fragmented. Players stay longer and engage more deeply when experiences are social—and Discord is where those moments already happen before, during, and after play. At GDC, Discord is showing how community, social integrations, commerce, and advertising work together to create a durable competitive advantage—helping partners turn engagement into growth, insights, and revenue.
