GDC Next, App Developers Conference coming to LA in Nov. 2013

GDC Next was announced this morning, the successor to GDC Online, focusing on mobile, social, independent and "other major forms of games." The first GDC Next and App Developers Conference (also new) will be held as a combined event at the Los Angeles Convention Center November 5-7, 2013.

GDC Online will hold its final iteration in Austin in October. GDC Next appears to be focusing its efforts on that elusive "what's next?" in the industry, covering a wide range of ideas from developers for products that don't fit the established parameters of GDC, GDC Europe, Gamescom or E3.
