RSVP List

The IGDA hosted a members-only developer party at E3. With everyone else so focused on the games, the media, the business and booth babes, we felt it was important to provide an opportunity for the actual game developers to connect, chill out and have some fun.

The party was held on Tuesday, May 11th 2004 at the Figueroa Hotel (Club Fes & Room Tangier) in Los Angeles. Food and drinks were served, and ambient beats where provided by FR33SONICK.

There were 403 members RSVP'd for the party (check out who they were).
