Game Devs of Color Expo (GDoCExpo) has announced that its presentation will return for its ninth annual showcase.

This year’s show will be online from September 18 to September 21; submissions for panels, speakers, and games are now open.

Catt Small, co-organizer of Game Devs of Color Expo, said, “Our event is fully centered around creators of color without being a diversity zoo. We continue to focus on the thought and creativity that our community puts into making their unique games.”

“As a speaker at GDoCExpo, you won’t need to reveal traumatic experiences for others to consume. We want to hear what you love about making games — what inspires you and how you build your work. Non-technical and technical talks are all welcome.”

Since 2019, GDoCExpo has distributed $390,000 to game developers of colors. In 2022, it became a non-profit organization.
