After a record 2008, attendance at the 2009 Game Developers Conference dipped slightly but still stood strong, with more that 17,000 industry professionals making the trip.
Last yearās GDC drew in record numbers, with more than 18,000 members of the gaming industry making the pilgrimage to San Francisco for the annual event. This yearās 17,000 represents a slight drop in numbers over the last, which can probably be chalked up to the economy somewhere down the line.

Despite the slight dip, GDC is still on for next year, returning to the Moscone Center on March 9th through the 13th, 2010.
