Organizers for the Game Developers Conference 2020 have announced that GDC will be postponed with a target date later in the summer. Rumors have been swirling around the games industry as multiple large vendors backed out of the event. We've had a thread here on GameDev.net tracking the dropouts, but a website was even created to track whether GDC would be cancelled as vendors continued to drop out.

From the announcement:

After close consultation with our partners in the game development industry and community around the world, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Game Developers Conference this March.

Having spent the past year preparing for the show with our advisory boards, speakers, exhibitors, and event partners, we're genuinely upset and disappointed not to be able to host you at this time .

We want to thank all our customers and partners for their support, open discussions and encouragement. As everyone has been reminding us, great things happen when the community comes together and connects at GDC. For this reason, we fully intend to host a GDC event later in the summer. We will be working with our partners to finalize the details and will share more information about our plans in the coming weeks.
