Events
Discover our engineers in the wild!
We regularly send our talented engineers to present at various industry conferences to share their knowledge and experience with the wider game developer audience, often in conjunction with other game developers.
These engaging and informative sessions range from talks for beginners to complex discussions for experienced developers, and of course introducing and demonstrating new products or major feature updates to our existing products.
This page provides an index for the main events we attend, but we also have a presentations page, a publications page, and a videos page which you may also find useful.

Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2024
We had a fantastic GDC 2024, and it was great to see you all there!
Once again, we were invited to present at the Advanced Graphics Summit, and we were incredibly excited to share the performance gains we’ve been able to achieve with work graphs.
Our six sponsored sessions this year covered the announcement of AMD FSR 3.1, which was part of our FSR 3 presentation with Massive Entertainment, a deep dive into mesh shaders, a big reveal on AMD FidelityFX Brixelizer GI, our always-popular CPU optimization session, and we had guests from Nixxes and Striking Distance Studios at our two tools sessions.
Find out more about our announcements and the sessions with the link to your right!
Learn about our GDC 2024 activities, including AMD FSR 3.1, AMD FidelityFX Brixelizer, work graphs, mesh shaders, tools, CPU, and more.
GDC 2023
We very much enjoyed seeing so many of you at GDC 2023!
We were delighted to have been invited to present at the Advanced Graphics Summit again this year with a talk on our solution for two-level radiance caching.
Our six sponsored sessions this year covered some exciting and significant developments with our AMD FidelityFX™ technologies, a look at Microsoft® DirectStorage, and our ever-popular presentations on how to optimize performance with Ryzen™ processors, and the latest details from our tools team.
Read our report on GDC and our announcements with the link to your right!
Get the highlights from our GDC 2023 sessions and FidelityFX-related reveals, and find links to videos and slide decks.
GDC 2022
AMD has always had a strong presence at the Game Developers Conference, and GDC 2022 was no exception.
We had sessions covering the details of the newly-announced AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2), introduced our new Radeon™ Raytracing Analyzer, and shared the stage with AAA developers to go behind the scenes with the development of their games.
You can watch the videos and grab the slides on our GDC 2022 page – almost as good as being there!
Discover our videos and slides from the GDC 2022, including FSR 2.0, ray tracing, Ryzen optimizations, and presentations with game devs.
