‘Pokemon GO’ Showcasing at San Francisco’s Game Developer Conference in March!

San Francisco’s Game Developer Conference will host a Pokemon GO panel next month! The panel will feature Niantic’s CEO, who will discuss development of the game and allow attendees to see it in action for the very first time. The conference will take place from March 14th to 16th, but the specific date and time for the Pokemon GO panel has not been announced yet.

The conference costs hundreds of dollars to attend, so we’ll most likely have to rely on large gaming industry websites to report the news if Pokemon doesn’t announce it themselves. Otherwise I’d be going! :p

Join Niantic founder and CEO John Hanke as he discusses how the company has developed a unique vision for delivering a mobile Pokemon experience that gets would-be trainers into the outdoors.
