This will be my first year attending (saving money by doing it as a volunteer) and you've provided some interesting insights. Thanks for the run-down of how to approach the GDC.

I'm working a lot more on the schedule this year than I have in years past. Too many times I've missed a session I didn't know about or gotten in late because I found it at the last minute. The conference is a great time to try something different. To get the most out of a session on a new topic though, I've found that there can be a lot of benefit to doing a little search online for those unusual topics. The speakers often have a body of work that can help you understand where they're coming from. As far as getting around in San Francisco, I found driving to be a real challenge - many of the roads have a ridiculous slope. The Wharf is the big tourist trap, but that doesn't mean there's not fun to be had down there. Good pointers. I’m working a lot more on the schedule this year than I have in years past.
