Event name: RDC24 [Roblox Developers Conference] and the Roblox Innovation Awards
Event dates: September 6-7, 2024
RDC offers creators a firsthand look into the future of Roblox with keynote presentations from CEO David Baszucki and other Roblox leaders. The event was live-streamed, and with six gigantic semi-transparent LED panels flanking an enormous fine-pixel-pitch LED center screen and several delay screens around the room, there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. That’s a good thing, too, considering all the jaw-dropping announcements from the main stage this year; everyone wanted to see the details up close and personal, and with a combined pixel spread of 160’ wide by 30’ tall, we were happy to oblige.
In addition to the keynotes, FNTECH produced many in-depth breakout sessions showcasing the latest technology empowering creator success. Downstairs, we created a village of Roblox gaming stations, project booths, hands-on demos, and al fresco dining areas.
On the last day, Roblox held its much anticipated Roblox Innovation Awards at the City National Civic Theater. Bigger and better than ever, hundreds of audience members enjoyed a sprawling street party before and after the event, and millions of viewers virtually joined the live stream across the globe, led by four diverse and noteworthy streamers camped in the upper deck. Roblox executives, superfans, and creators celebrated the community’s best and most incredible achievements during the fast-paced awards show.
Roblox now boasts 79.5 million daily active users, with double-digit growth in all regions and a robust rise in users aged 13 and older. This means brands looking to connect with a diverse and global audience have a prime opportunity to engage with millions of players daily AND a good chance to participate in the next RDC, which is now scheduled for fall 2025.
