It is important to capitalize on the CGDC executive advisors' brainpower and nail down the agenda and topics of this year's CGDC, so as to ensure that the CGDC will be able to meet the requirements of the audiences from domestic and international game industry. At the CGDC 2010's first advisory board meeting, a total of over 500 candidate topics earlier collected from the domestic and international game companies by the organizing committee will be reviewed, from which widely-concerned and urgent issues will be selected as topics of this year's conference. The advisory board members also suggested that, in view of the rapid development of China's game industry, the CGDC 2010 should focus its topics more on future technologies and international cooperation, so as to cope with the globalization trend in the game industry. They also recommended specialized topics and speakers. The CGDC will retain its original eight agenda frameworks, in Art, Program, Design, Operation, Management, Security, Testing and Audio, while it will add a "Master Workshop" section to facilitate higher-end technical exchanges among high-level technical experts.

The first advisory board meeting marked the kick-off of preparations for CGDC 2010. The organizing committee, holding fast to its missions, will plan the topics and recommend authoritative technical experts to present specialized professional speeches, based on sufficient first-hand information about the current needs of China's game development technology sector and with the collaboration and directions of the advisory board experts. The organizing committee will later announce the agenda and topics of the conference, and recruit speakers around the world.
