Letter from the ED – July 2021

4 Jul 2021

Greetings, IGDA and other members of the game industry,

We here at the IGDA are wishing you a wonderful July! We hope to see you virtually at GDC for the IGDA SIG Roundtables, and don’t forget that IGDA members receive an additional discount on GDC passes along with other conferences and software discounts that can be found here.

Our GIGA (Global Industry Game Awards) nominees have been announced and congratulations to all of the nominees! We encourage all game developers to support those who had outstanding contributions to their disciplines by voting here. These peer determined awards celebrating the contributions of discipline teams and individuals will uplift developers for their efforts like no other currently running award series.

Finally, this month we will also be posting a job opportunity for supporting IGDA’s Chapters and SIGs as a staff member on the IGDA HQ team. Please stay tuned to our social media and career center postings if you would be interested in supporting your fellow game developers through such a role.

Please stay in good health and spirits.

Warmest Regards,

Renee Gittins
Executive Director, IGDA
