Bi-Monthly Social Gathering Kickoff May 24th
We hope everyone came out of E3 unscathed. We have been working on getting more frequent meetings and lining up programs for the year.
To start things off we are hosting two meetings back to back this month. The first announcement is about our new program of bi-monthly social gatherings kicking off Wednesday, May 24th.
Los Angeles IGDA Game Developer Gathering
Where: Finn McCool's, 2702 Main St, Santa Monica, CA
When: 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month, 7PM to 8:30PM
(Kick off meeting on May 24th)
Twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, get together with your fellow game developers at a cool Irish bar on Main Street, Santa Monica at 7PM.
The first Wednesday of the month hosts a 30 minute moderated format of a short presentation from industry experts talking turkey about business topics, development issues or even deconstructing a game to
analyze what makes it tick. You can grab a few drinks, eat some good food (absolutely killer fish & chips) and after the presentation schmooze with your fellow developers from the rest of the Los Angeles games industry.
The second meeting of the month is just a wide open booze & schmooze where you'll have all night to meet & greet your fellow industry inmates. No structure, no topics, no presentations. Just come along and have a night out from the behind the keyboard where you can get to practice those "soft-skills" all the marketing folks seem to have.
Officially it all wraps up by 8:30PM but you're free to hang around the bar until closing time. On Wednesday evenings Finn McCool's brings in a local band for live music that kicks off at 10PM.
Sounds great, so see you there!
