From Gamasutra: GDC 2010 Reveals First Conference Lectures:

Game Developers Conference 2010 organizers have announced its first set of Main Conference lectures for the March 9th-13th event, with Uncharted 2, Braid and Brutal Legend-specific talks already confirmed.

An initial set of talks for the Audio, Business, Design, Production, Art, and Programming tracks for next March’s event are now viewable in GDC 2010’s schedule-building app or via the official Game Developers Conference website.

Organizers of the industry-leading San Francisco-based event (part of Think Services, as is this website) will be highlighting track-specific talks gradually over the next few weeks, but some of the notable lectures already posted include:

- Among Friends – An Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Post-Mortem (Production Track)
In this postmortem, Naughty Dog co-lead game designer Richard Lemarchand examines what went right and wrong in the creation of the critically acclaimed PS3 title, "…in expanding our gameplay through the use of new traversal, combat and AI technologies, introducing characters that shed new light on our hero Nathan Drake, and tackling our first foray into multiplayer in four years."

- Rock Show VFX – The Effects That Bring Brutal Legend to Life (Art Track)
Two of Double Fine’s key employees — lead platform programmer Peter Demoreuille and technical/VFX artist Drew Skillman — will discuss the making of the visual effects for action-adventure Brutal Legend, covering "the design and most commonly relied upon features of our particle rendering, simulation, effects timeline and climate packages."

And concerning a GDC discount for IGDA members:

From IGDA:

We are delighted to continue our partnership with GDC in San Francisco March 9 – 13, 2010.  GDC is one of the focal points for our industry and this year looks to be as good, if not better, than previous years in terms of the educational content and networking opportunities available to IGDA members.

The IGDA offers a number of programs throughout the GDC event, and I wanted to take a few moments to walk through them with those of you planning to attend this remarkable event.

IGDA Member Discount:  This year the IGDA and GDC have agreed to increase the member discount to $75 off the registration rates.  As a member of the IGDA you should contact the IGDA staff, via email: joda@igda.org or via phone: +1 856.423.2990 and obtain your registration discount code.  You will need to enter this code during registration to obtain your discount.  GDC is using a new registration system which no longer ties directly into the IGDA membership list.  Each discount code is unique, so please call for yours today, and don’t share your code with anyone else, or it won’t work for the second user.
