As revealed on the official Austin GDC 2008 website, the September 15th-17th conference at the Austin Convention Center will feature its traditional online game focus alongside audio and writing tracks.

However, this year's Austin Game Developers Conference will also feature significant Worlds In Motion and virtual worlds content alongside the traditional coverage of MMOs.

This follows the major success of the sold-out, standing room only Worlds In Motion Summit at Game Developers Conference 2008 in San Francisco in February 2008.

The Austin GDC 2008 conference, for which registration will open in the near future, has traditionally featured a great deal of content relevant to Worlds In Motion readers, with Habbo's Sulka Haro keynoting AGDC 2007, and this will be further expanded this year.

Initial lecture submissions are now closed for the conference, but more information on the line-up, including notable keynotes and lectures from leading lights in the online game and virtual world biz, will be available in the near future and will be covered in full on Worlds In Motion.
