At Hathora, our mission is to provide premium server infrastructure for the future of multiplayer gaming. For GDC this year, we’re bringing that same premium experience to how backend engineers and gaming executives connect in San Francisco.
With the Hathora Hub, we wanted to bring together some of the brightest minds making innovative games. We’re doing this in 3 key ways:
- An exclusive, dedicated home base for your coffee meetups
- Private suites for the important demos and meetings
- A dedicated space for industry-leading podcasts and fireside chats
What does that mean?
Located at 767 Market Street, the Hathora Hub is designed to maximize productivity and networking for industry leaders during the busiest week in gaming. While Yerba Gardens, Moscone, and nearby hotel lobbies get overcrowded with attendees from all corners of the industry, we created a focused, comfortable space where real conversations and meaningful meetings can happen—without the chaos of coffee shop seat battles.
What’s Inside the Hathora Hub?
The Hub is built around three key components:
🤝 Hub Networking Space
A private lounge space designed for backend engineers, CTOs, and studio heads to meet, work, and network. Hub members get access to:
- Comfortable lounge seating
- Snacks and soft drinks
- Your dedicated home base for meetings
- Private demo spaces for teams showcasing their games to press and investors
For smaller studios, this is a cost-effective alternative to renting hotel suites, ensuring a polished, professional environment for important conversations.
🔐 Partnership Suites at the Hub
Reserved exclusively for Hub partners, these private meeting spaces blend the exclusivity of an airport lounge with the convenience of a WeWork, providing the perfect fully branded setting for high-stakes discussions and deal-making.
🎙️ Live at the Hub Stage
A dedicated space for live conversations and industry-leading podcasts, including:
- Naavik’s Alexandra Takei and GameMakers’ Joseph Kim (live podcast recordings)
- Exclusive fireside chats with leaders like Troy Kirwin (a16z GAMES) and Liam Deane (Omdia)
Unlike the massive, high-traffic panels of GDC, these sessions offer a more intimate setting for high-value discussions tailored to a specific audience.
