CMP Media, responsible for organizing the Game Developers Conference each year, has been busy adapting to the changing global climate of game development. Just this week, two new events have been announced: GDC China and PC GameOn.

Taking its show to the Far East, CMP Media will hold the first annual GDC China in August 2007, which promises to be the same event in spirit though tailored to the unique demands and interests of the Chinese game development community. China is one of the world’s fastest growing game markets and the program is promising content for the native Chinese developers as well as international developers interested in opening in, moving to, hiring from, or outsourcing to China.

While announcing publicly no intention to turn the GDC into the glitzy media frenzy that E3 used to be, it’s instead begun to fill that void with a consumer-oriented event to reveal hot new tech and games of the personal computer persuasion. PC GameOn’s site is still light on details, but promises more will be forthcoming in “June.” It’s scheduled to immediately follow the Austin Game Developers Conference and Game Career Seminar.
