We’re excited to finally be back on the Expo floor at GDC 2023, taking place March 20-24 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco! We have some exciting presentations happening at our booth space & an incredible team for you to meet on the ground.



Visit us at Expo booth S941 to discover how Wwise 2022.1 and Strata simplify the work of programmers and empower audio teams to deliver superior immersive experiences. In addition to members of the Audiokinetic team, we’ll also be joined by partner GME, who’ll be demoing their immersive in-game VoIP solution. Additionally on-hand will be Robert Brock & David Kalberg of the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences (CRAS) who will be demoing Wwise education and certifications.
