Companies will question the necessity/relevance of events like GDC and may not attend next year
There is a risk, that would be a blow to the industry ... OR it could lead to some kind of metamorphosis of the GDC, becoming then bigger spot for indies in the case where all major companies leaved it for "home made" events (or online events).
But because of the quality of most of the talks, as well as the meetings made there, losing -completly- that event seems unlikely to happen.
I am personally much more enthusiastic about GDC than E3 for many reasons, the main being the fact that it is less a promotional show than a well of knowledge(s).
The demise of GDC "as we know it". Without the corporate sponsors Moscone center is a bit unnecessary. SF was super expensive anyway. Getting US visas for some people is always a pain.
Online conferences, smaller regional events, and getting back to more of a developer focus and less B2B, etc.

That's more or less what we talked about.
