Nokia to be Main Sponsor of GCDC 2008

It has been announced that Nokia will be the main sponsor of this year’s GCDC game conference, held in Leipzig, Germany. From Gamespy.com:

“Today the GC Developers Conference (GCDC) announced that Nokia will be the main sponsor of this year’s event. Nokia will showcase its latest games for N-Gage making mobile a big part of the conference. Nokia has supported GCDC, Europe’s leading developer conference, since 2005. The GCDC takes place in Leipzig August 18-20, 2008.”

The Leipzig show is one of the largest in Europe and is open to public, giving gamers and press a chance to see upcoming games before they are released, much in the way E3 used to. Fore more information, check out the official site.

It should not be confused with the GDC, or Game Developer’s Conference, held every year in San Francisco, California and is limited to industry professionals.
