The official dates for gamedev.world are June 21-23, hot off the heels of E3 2019. All talks will be close-captioned and translated into Russian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, English, Japanese, French, and Spanish. Ismail has been working on the event and lining up sponsors for four years.

Please help us make @gamedevworld the largest it can be, and help us break down the enormous invisible border of language. Sign up at https://t.co/ACxXxywSll and retweet the tweets from the @gamedevworld account.

Shackers can sign up at gamedev.world, where you can select which language you prefer to enjoy the event in. This is a huge deal for a number of developers who find it very difficult to travel to the United States or Europe for conventions. Rami Ismail has been fighting for international developers for years, and this event will be a huge step up for a lot of talented people across the globe. He chatted with us last year after he received the 2018 GDC Ambassador Award about the struggles of international developers.

It is exciting to see a brand new games conference with such a clear and positive vision. Be sure to follow gamedev.world on Twitter, and keep it locked on Shacknews for more information leading up to June 2019.
