GDC Festival of Gaming 2026

Side is heading to the GDC Festival of Gaming from March 9–13 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and we can't wait to reconnect with the community!

We'll be on the ground throughout the week with team members representing our complete service offering. From indie studios to AAA publishers, we bring 30+ years of expertise across Codev, Art, Audio, Player Support, Localization, LQA, and Quality Assurance to support your game's success. 

We’re also proud to share that Side's Mathieu Lavoie, Senior Director of Music and Sound, will join the panel “Outsourcing Without the Overhead: Practical Tips for Smarter Collaboration.” He’ll be speaking alongside experts from XDS, Bloober Team, Behaviour Interactive, and Virtuos on Wednesday, March 11 at 3:10 PM in Room 2018 - West Hall.
