I don't follow GDC or CES closely so a couple questions,

1) It seems like bigger booths are to the left and smaller to the right but is there any connection with booths next to each other? For example, Epic, Id, Havok, and Valve all being near MS and for what it's worth VR Tools being next to Nintendo.

2) Does booth size more correlate with the quality of announcement or quantity? It would seem if it's a tech show MS would have a lot to show off though not necessarily anything amazing. On the other hand what does Epic have other than Unreal 3/4?

  1.  The huge booths you see for MS and Epic are actually meeting places.  Normal booths range from small booths to larger booths that have a closed room (typically for interviews).  As far as where things are located, that's just how it's organized.  They have a specific number of booths and anyone can reserve an open booth.
  2. There aren't really any announcements, it's just HR people, leads, and every now and then random employee's taking resumes.  GDC is a job fair and a place to hold round tables and the likes, that's why outside people and press aren't normally invited in the same way they are to things like E3.
