Community
The IGDA has several communities which it fosters in order to bring the game development industry closer together. These are through our Chapters, SIGs, our Discord server, and mentorship programs.
Chapters
IGDA chapters represent the IGDA and advance its mission locally through regular events, community outreach, education, and advocacy efforts. Chapters also help connect their members to a global community of IGDA chapters, SIGs, and committees around the world.
