CEDEC2023, our first hybrid event, was a great success, thanks to the cooperation of all those who attended.

At CEDEC2024, we hope to further accelerate the sharing of knowledge and exchange of technology related to game development by continuing to hold hybrid events that can take advantage of the benefits of both online and on-site locations.

To embody this, we have chosen "encounters" as the theme for CEDEC2024.

As the lengthy COVID-19 pandemic begins to come to an end, we believe that by providing developers with encounters (places to meet and exchange ideas), they will be able to stimulate each other and generate new ideas and inspiration regarding game development.

We look forward to seeing you at CEDEC2024. Enjoy your encounters at the venue!

When submitting a session application, speakers will be asked to select their presentation method from the following four options.

1. Going to the venue to present (on-site presentation)
2. Providing pre-recorded videos (video presentation)
3. Giving a presentation remotely (on ZOOM) (remote presentation)
4. Not sure

The selection will be finalized after youʼve been accepted and we receive your consent to speak. At that time, we will again confirm that you are willing to give the presentation, and ask you to decide on the presentation method.

However, we may consult you about the presentation method, depending on the operating logistics moving forward. Thank you for your understanding in advance as you make your application.
