The CMP Game Group today announced that this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) will have the theme of "Take Control." This will reflect how "the time is now for attendees to gain the knowledge and to seize opportunities enabled through next-generation platforms and the diversification in videogame play." GDC 07 will take place March 5 - 9 in San Francisco.

"Since its humble beginning 20 years ago, the primary purpose of the GDC has been and will continue to be to provide a rich environment for presenting and sharing the secrets of creating better games," said Jamil Moledina, executive director of the Game Developers Conference. "The mechanism for this is an editorially selected and deeply specialized menu of sessions, which further drives the quality of the expo floor experience and the networking events of the overall show. The GDC 2007 website launched today provides a first look at the program we are building, designed primarily to empower individual game creators with hands on development details and unveilings of bold breakthroughs - with the goal of sparking the innovation potential borne from the timely alignment of the entire game industry ecosystem."
