For the GDC passes I'm mainly looking at the Main Conference, Summit/Bootcamp, and the Expo pass (mainly because it would save a lot of money). The first year I went (2013) I got the MC pass because I wanted a more full experience and to check things out. I enjoyed the different sessions (especially the AI Roundtables). This year I am leaning towards the Summit pass as I am curious about some of the AI Summit sessions (the main drawback of this of course being that I wouldn't be able to attend the AI Roundtables).
The main reasons I am attending is to network, learn some new things, and to enhance my passions for this field (after my first GDC I left with a renewed desire to be a game programmer). Ideally I'd love to spend time in the Career Pavilion area and get a job offer, but that's more an extra goal than a primary reason to be going.
For those GDC pros, any pass recommendation (especially if you have done the summits)?
