Nexon is officially on the hunt for speakers for its NEXON Developers Conference 26 (NDC 26), with the application window remaining open until March 4th.

Since its inception in 2007, NDC has evolved into a staple of the gaming calendar, serving as a hub for industry professionals and enthusiasts alike to share technical trends and industry know-how, providing opportunities for information exchange and networking.

Last year marked a triumphant return to an in-person format after a six-year hiatus, pulling in a cumulative 7,600 attendees over three days, while the online streams racked up an impressive 58,500 total views.

NDC 26 is set to take place at Nexon’s headquarters in Pangyo and its surrounding area from June 16th to 18th. They are calling for speakers across nine distinct tracks, including AI, game design, programming, visual art & sound, production & operations, business & marketing, data, blockchain, and career development. Notably, they are expanding sessions that cover AI utilization cases and practical know-how this year.

Speaker applications are open from February 12th to March 4th via the NDC 26 official website. Speakers will be selected following a review by the NDC advisory board. Selected speakers will receive one-on-one speaking coaching, an NDC invitation, an art book, a ready bag, priority access to offline sessions (SPEAKER PASS), and an honorarium.

Nexon expects to finalize the speaker lineup by the end of March, with general registration for attendees kicking off on the official website this coming May.
