GDC Welcome Breakfast – FOC Silicon Valley Working Group

March 21, 2023 @ 4:45 pm - 6:30 pm UTC+0

Tuesday, 21 March | 8:45 – 10:30 PST | W San Francisco | 181 3rd Street, San Francisco CA 94103

The European Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ECNL) and the Freedom Online Coalition Silicon Valley Working Group cordially invite you to a welcome breakfast to kick off the 2023 Game Developers Conference (GDC). Join us to meet international gaming representatives attending GDC, as well as local industry, civil society and tech policy stakeholders.

Over breakfast, we’ll have an informal conversation that will touch on online harms and what companies can do to make their products and platforms safer for users, including as they grow in size and scope. Bring along your tough questions and challenges! Some ideas we’ll look at:

What sort of online harms can occur in gaming products and platforms? Can user safety be a competitive advantage? What industry best practices should companies try to replicate? What do I need to do, and who can help me?

To dig into these questions, we’ll hear from experts from industry, civil society, and academia who will talk about best practices for meaningful stakeholder engagement. We’ll learn about ECNL’s framework for stakeholder engagement in the design, development and deployment of social media platforms for gamers, as well as the benefits this engagement can have for your company/organization and users. Speakers will be announced soon!

Register your attendance by Monday, 20 March via this link.
