Unfortunately as a student i won't have the time to attend GDC, but i'm hopefully gonna be there sometime in the near future. As for now i will continue development of my recent game in my free time,  and thanks to itch.io i've been able to reach out to other indiedevs and gamers that really have helped me improve as a dev with new ideas and feedback. 

Thanks for posting. GDC is nice to meet people, but don't feel bad if you can't make it. It's unfortunate that it's always in the same place, and inaccessible to people who don't have easy access to USA. I'm glad you're using itch.io's to broaden your community.
