Anyone interested in the gaming industry, including industry professionals, the general public, and university students, can apply to attend, with registrations available on a first-come, first-served basis through the official NDC website until May 25th.

This conference will feature a total of 49 lectures across 10 different fields. Topics include case studies of game intellectual property growth, postmortems, the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI), game performance prediction, server architecture design, and implementation of physics-based characters.

Speakers for the sessions will include representatives from domestic and international game companies who developed titles such as Nexon's 'MapleStory,' 'FC Online,' 'Prasia: The Beginning,' 'Monster Strike,' 'Goddess of Victory: Nikke,' and 'Cookie Run: Kingdom.'

The keynote address will be delivered by Park Yong-hyun, vice president of Nexon, who will discuss 'The reasons we create big games,' focusing on the strategic importance of large-scale game development.

NDC is a knowledge-sharing event for the gaming industry that began in 2007 and is celebrating its 18th edition this year. Nexon is holding this conference offline for the first time in six years since 2019, and plans to conduct an online live broadcast as well.
