The International Game Developers Association (IGDA®) is the world’s largest membership association for game developers.  

Our mission is to make game development a sustainable, fulfilling career for anyone with the desire and aptitude to pursue it.  We have Chapters on six continents and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) led by developers around the world, all dedicated to supporting game developers at every stage of their career.

IGDA special interest groups (SIGs) are virtual, global communities of the IGDA centered on a specific topic of interest relevant to game development – whether it is related to a discipline, a common interest, or a policy issue.  SIGs connect developers around the world for the purpose of group learning, identification of challenges, advancing their focus in the industry, and networking. Each SIG is run by volunteer advocates of the organization. As a component of the international organization, each SIG shares and supports the overarching mission of the IGDA.
