The Game Developers Next and App Developers Conference are taking Los Angeles by storm pretty soon. We caught up with Patrick Miller to talk about the most interesting sessions coming up at the events, which focus on the future of the game industry and the nuts-and-bolts of developing apps.

The event takes place on Nov. 5 to 7, shortly after our own GamesBeat 2013 event on Oct. 29-30 in Redwood City, Calif. Miller, the GDC director of online community, said in an interview with GamesBeat that the ADC will be much like the Game Developers Conference, only with a special focus on making apps. It is co-located with GDC Next at the Los Angeles convention center. Both events are expected to draw about 4,000 people.
