Courage XL – Courage.Events

March 8th 2026 | Great Northern | San Francisco

Kick off your GDC week the Courage way! With 35+ developers, a drink in hand, and a night full of games, chats, and good vibes. Courage XL keeps things casual: think simple set ups, soft music, and lots of cool demos (no loud music, expensive expo booths or complicated badge scanners) 🎧🍻

Expect a friendly crowd, an indie atmosphere, and the perfect excuse to mingle before the madness of GDC begins. 🕹️🍹
