Gordon Walton is a name that has been around the gaming industry for a long time. He has worked for several major game developers and been involved in GDC Austin regularly.

Every year theres always a series of sessions I have to attend because Im going to learn something in them and thats why I go to the conference whether Im involved with it or not. Theres always stuff to learn and thats what the conference is about, sharing best practices so that the whole industry can move forward. What it does for us is help our people learn more and get better. I cant point and say our title got better because so and so went to this session, but we like our people to get the most experience vicariously that they can so that they dont have to do it the hard way on our title.
