Well, kinda. Probably just the meet-n-greets & afterparties, like last year. I had a great time meeting everyone last year, looking forward to more of the same. I’ll be there! Well, kinda.

If you're completely new to the game dev scene and haven't pre-arranged to meet up with anyone or found any meet-n-greets or gatherings before you go, you may find yourself with a lot of "alone" time, and the expo can only provide so much entertainment for that. There was one year I didn't buy ANY pass and just hung outside the hallway and looked for old coworkers. It was still a blast! The expo pass is worth it if you’ve got someone to meet up with.

Lots of interesting stuff to see and people to meet. Even just the Expo pass is worth it, if you don’t have to travel too far. Lots of interesting stuff to see and people to meet.
