Game Developers Conference Speakers Announced is the story on November 13, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. The 13th Annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) today announced an industry line-up of more than 250 speakers for the 1999 conference at the San Jose Convention Center, March 15-19. The speakers at GDC '99, representing several countries, cross numerous genres and platforms and will discourse on all aspects of interactive game development.

Featured on the impressive roster of GDC '99 speakers are: Brian Hook of id software; Louis Castle of Westwood Studios; Brenda Laurel of Purple Moon; Syd Mead of Oblagon, Inc.; Andrew Glassner of Microsoft Research; Brian Fargo of Interplay Entertainment; Andy Gavin of Naughty Dog and many others. GDC is the only conference by game developers, for game developers. Drivers and hardware updates are not glamorous, but when they fix a game or unlock a card you already paid for, they matter.
