Game Developers Session
Game Developers Session (GDS) is an annual conference on game development. It is a regular meeting of game developers from Central Europe, especially Czech and Slovak.
The first GDS conference was in 2003. In 2010 it was held in Prague, Czech Republic.[1]
In 2009, the conference gained more popularity outside the Czech Republic by presenting a set of lectures by developers from 2K Czech, mainly on the technical background of the game Mafia II.
