Game Developers Conference Recap - Next @ IGDA


The 2008 Game Developers Conference may have seen more involvement from New Mexico's game development community than ever before.  The Game Industry's premier event included summits on Serious Games, Games in Education, and Mobile Games (among others) in addition to the conference itself.  With attendees from Game Production Services, Sandia National Labs, and UNM (among others) -- and a nice chunk of the Expo floor taken up by Novint, our next Rio Grande Game Developers meeting will focus on our thoughts, experiences and lessons learned from GDC. 

Additionally, we'll be checking in with each other on current and ongoing projects -- and talk a bit about what we can do to build the game development community and opportunities for budding game developers here in New Mexico.

To better accommodate younger people -- and not conflict with the NM Filmmakers Conference  we've changed the usual location and night.  Please look at the details below.

WHAT:     International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Rio Grande Chapter Meeting
WHEN:     Wednesday, March 26th 6:00 - 8:30 PM
WHERE:  UNM ARTS Lab, 131 Pine St., NW (one block west of University, half a block north of Central Ave.)
WHO:       Working professionals in the game industry and related fields -- and people interested in getting more involved (no membership needed to attend)
HOW MUCH:  Free

We hope to see you there -- please contact me directly at ewhitmore@gmail.com for additional information.
