Roblox Developers Conference 2021

Roblox Developers Conference 2021 (usually shortened to RDC 2021) was an annual conference event that took place from October 14 to 16, 2021. A typical Roblox Developers Conference event includes game and platform update announcements, networking opportunities with major developers, and game-building events, such as an overnight game jam for attendees.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RDC 2021 was offered both in-person and virtual attendance options. The in-person event was held at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, California, and attendees must have showed proof of vaccination, as with COVID-19 and ordered by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. It was streamed on Social 27 for virtual attendees.
== Game Jam==
Like every year, the RDC Game Jam is an event in which a team of developers has a limited amount of time (normally a day or less) to create a game to compete against other games that are judged based on specific categories. This year, the theme of the Game Jam was "It's not a bug, it's a feature!".
