GCS takes place the same week as two other major music industry events; the San Francisco Lovefest and the Audio Engineering Society Expo. While these events bring a broad spectrum of internationally recognized and award-winning names in music recording, production, and performance to San Francisco, GCS seeks to create an immersion experience which will connect attendees to a targeted group of electronic music, media and technology professionals through intimate panels, in-depth product demonstrations, artist performances and label showcases.

Attendees will participate in discussions and workshops covering a wide array of timely and current topicsincluding cutting edge production and performance technology, politics of entertainment, event production, digital distribution and marketing and the explosive Game Audio industry.

A sampling of the agenda thus far includes, the Inside Game Audio panel, scheduled to be moderated by Paul Lipson, President of The Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G) This panel will provide a stark look at game audio challenges, opportunities for composers and new music, and production management. It will include director of audio for Sony Computer Entertainment America, Chuck Doud, and eighttime G.A.N.G award winner for Bioshock, Emily Ridgeway.

Other panels include, “Where is the future of DJ'ing going and can we keep up?” What is a ‘controllerist’ and as music technology continues to evolve at light speeds, what will it mean to be a "DJ" in the next 10 years?  This unique panel will be moderated by Ean Golden, Remix Magazine’s Digital DJ columnist and djtechtools.com editor.

Additional confirmed panelists include Peter Wohleski (Beatport), Adam Rabinovitz (IODA), Tomas Palermo (URB/XLR8R), and Pyramind’s state of the art studios will showcase studio tips and tricks presented by their team of producers.
