Our friends at the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) have opened membership applications for their global community of game developers, designers, artists, and professionals.
The IGDA is the world’s largest nonprofit membership organization serving all individuals who create games. They bring together game developers at industry conferences and in over 150 chapters to improve their lives and their craft. From the newbies and the seasoned veterans, to the indie developers —whether your primary platform is a PC, console, mobile device or VR & AR—you’ll find yourself at home in IGDA!
As a member of the IGDA, you gain access to a wide range of benefits and resources that can help you grow your career and connect with other industry professionals. Here are a few key things you should know:
- Member Benefits: IGDA members can access a variety of benefits including discounts on conferences and events, access to the IGDA Mentorship program, and free webinars and training sessions.
- Special Interest Groups: The IGDA has several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that focus on different areas of game development, various advocacy topics, or around shared affinity and identity.
- Local Chapters: The IGDA has over 100 local chapters around the world. These chapters host events, meetups, and networking opportunities for members in their region. You can find a local chapter near you on the IGDA website. Don’t see a chapter near you? You can even start a new one using the resources found here.
- Online Resources: The IGDA website has a wealth of resources for game developers, including job listings, industry news, and articles on best practices and trends in game development.
