I’m hoping I get an invite to RDC this year, it would be my first ever time attending and it would probably be one the highlights of my life. Meeting so many talented people, having to do so many unique opportunities, being able to see the people who shaped my childhood, aswell as being able to go to that BOMB Venue and hanging out with other developer friends.

Also, since my family members work for United Airlines, travel expenses for me are free, only hotels and food are a problem :slight_smile: Hope to see you all at RDC this year, its going to be AMAZING.

What are the qualifications to get in? Front page game? Certian amount of followers or place visits? Talent in multiple areas?

(Didnt mean to reply to you scythe lol srry)

Only qualifications are be in the devforum and actually do something. If you are inactive or just dont do anything then your chances of being invited are low.

I set up a portfolio, do commissions, help people if i have a solution to a problem, and contribute to discussion. Try doing that.

I’ve gotten an invite every year, with the exception of last year, and I took three year break.

Would be nice to be able to go to RDC, if not I’ll still watch the live stream.

Hopefully we get the Developer Roadmap for 2020 soon, can’t wait for the studio updates.

If I dont get an invite this year I probably will next year because Im releasing about 4 games and I am trying to get atleast 2 to the front page. Im In Canada so im pretty close. Could easily drive or fly for very little cost.

Hey developers,

We hear your concerns regarding the absence of the European RDC this year and understand your frustration. We want to shed some light on why this decision was made.

The idea of the Roblox Developers Conference is to unite our global community under one roof for an epic weekend of networking, learning, and having fun. By separating our various international communities, we’re acting contrary to what our ideals for RDC entail. While our stance on this could change in the future, one big RDC is currently what makes the most sense for us to do.

We know that this means that not everyone who wants to attend will be able to, but we’re trying our best to make it as easy as possible - no matter where you’re from - to come to San Francisco for the conference. That’s why the Save the Date was posted so early and why we’re sending invitations out this month. The earlier we can do these things, the less expensive it will be for everyone who wants to attend. On top of that, we want to ensure that you have sufficient time to earn enough money from your development work to attend the conference. We’re going to continue subsidizing as many costs as we can to make attending RDC as affordable as possible for everyone.

For those wondering why we would host the only RDC in the Bay Area instead of a more central location, it’s a matter of what resources we make available to you. The close proximity of the conference to our headquarters offers you so much more than any other venue ever could. By coming to our area, you’ll get the opportunity to tour our headquarters during the week before RDC weekend, connect with more Roblox employees than you would have at any other conference, and get a peek into what life at Roblox is like. There’s so much value just in being able to connect with such a variety of our staff that RDC in San Francisco really cannot be undersold.

We hope that this helps alleviate some of your concerns and answers some of your questions.

Thanks,

Developer Relations

I very much agree, one big one makes much more sense, and would be a lot more fun as oppose to splitting it up.

To me it doesn’t make sense at all. Many European developers like me really want to go, but can’t afford or don’t want to spend so much money on plane tickets. I just checked how much flight tickets would cost me if I bought them now (from Amsterdam) and it’d still be 850 euro. Which is waay too much for such an event.

Flying in to a different, nearby airport (Oakland, for example) might save you quite a bit.

Can someone explain their definition of “going global”, presented at RDC18? This is the complete opposite; forcing everyone to come to the USA…

Also many developers do not make enough to pay for the flights, on top of other expenses, no matter how early I start saving

Nope, actually gets worse :grimacing:
But on the bright side I’m glad I went to at least one rdc, which was the last one in europe

It would have seemed like a great idea, unfortunately that means pretty much no Europeans would come down unless they had all travel expenses pre-paid. It would be so expensive to travel all the way to America and thus making it so that hardly any European will be attending RDC. This is upsetting, I can understand the idea but it just means we won’t be having an RDC unless we pay a heafty plane ticket and taxi fares.

And on top of that, a visa is required to enter the USA - and their visa policy is pretty strict!
