GDC 2013: Assassin's Creed III Homestead: Code, Data and Tools.
GDC stands for Game Developers Conference.
I just got accepted this week as a speaker. So yeah, the guy who doesn't speak English will have to do a presentation for a full hour in front of specialists of the industry about ways to reduce the workload coming from new generation of hardware. More specifically, the balance between code and data driven approaches and the concept of disposable tools.
...
No stress.

You can type English just fine, so no worries!
717399 Because typing and speaking is quite the same...
Good luck!
(I wouldn't worry too much over your English, for some reason I feel like when I hear people talk at conferences and presentations who have a difficult time with the language, I always tend to think of them as even more knowledgeable and impressive... I don't really know why.)
Edit: Are you going to be posting a video afterwards? Cuz you should!

Very true.
Congrats!
I plan on attending for the first time this year. Gotta research getting in on a press pass...
'Course, I really wanna go to meet people in the industry, wanna work my way up to producer once I'm outta school
718035 There's a press access for the GDC? That's new?
I see a student version, but no press version. Are you sure the press is allowed?

I'm not at all sure. In fact I'm entirely ignorant.
I'll have to research it.
My opinion with no info whatsoever: Don't game magazines or game oriented media get any action at GDC? If not, I'm probably sunk (if they don't let people in without invite, I'm sunk as well). Either way, I've gotta look into a way I can go on my budget.
718074 It's not like the E3. There is no publicity to make out of that, no video, just specialists talking.

Press is invite only. Got a phone number and address to work that angle (Office is in Los Angeles and I'll be operating out of there very soon).
I might be able to volunteer, but they are probably already full and I have little confidence in the waiting list. I'll apply anyway
If nothing else, I might drop for a student or Expo pass just so I can see something.
Enough about me, though. Congratulations!
I'm sure that the organizers thought of the language barrier problems, so that should work out fine. The content of the presentation though.... Everything you say would be something new for me, but I'm sure development specialists will have some interesting questions. Make your own luck!
