As the other person mentioned, its the Game Developers Conference.
I attended once trying to get a job back when I first got out of college. Its kind of like PAX for professionals. They had a space where they had booths by different studios who were all taking applications (I ran into Hideo Kojima at the Konami booth!). They also had the main showfloor where they had companies trying to pitch their products and technologies. Companies like Intel and Autodesk, etc… And then they also had the Game Developers Awards show across the street. I guess Kojima was there because he was accepting a lifetime achievement award, that year.
The event happens at the Moscone Center in San Fransisco, which is right in the middle of downtown, but not too far off from the sketchy areas either.
