October Meeting

Hi Everyone,

I'm taking some time here to announce that this Tuesday, October 10th we will be holding a meeting. It's been a couple of months since our last get together and I've gotten quite a few requests to have a meeting. We've decided to change our meeting location from our local Chili's and the Art Institute of Las Vegas has been gracious enough to sponser us with a meeting location.

As usual if you will be attending please send me an email at mike.mcgehee@gmail.com so I can get a head count.


Where: The Art Institute of Las Vegas

Date: Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

Time: 7:00 PM

January Meeting pushed back!

Hey guys,

Sorry to report that I'm going to have to push the meeting back until the 17th. Turns out that some things came up with a few people and the turnout would be a lot better if we took it back a week.

See you on the 17th!

Las Vegas IGDA Student Panel

The Las Vegas IGDA will be hosting a student panel on the 17th of November, 2005. All students that are currently attending High School or College will be able to attend free of charge. The event will consist of a panel of professionals that the students can ask questions to about how to enter game development or just questions about the industry in general. Students will also have a chance to participate in a small workshop where they come up with a game concept and present it to the panel to have their ideas critiqued.

The purpose of this panel is to build a better standing knowledge of the local development community and the presence of the IGDA chapter here. We have roughly 100 seats available and hopefully we'll fill them all up. To help raise the attendance the local CompUSA has agreed to sponsor the event by giving away some door prizes that will be raffled off during the event. I am also attempting to get sponsorship from Intel, Canon, and Apple for the event. If any of you would like to aid in sponsoring the event just shoot me an email at This address.

Here's a link to the flyer that I will be passing around.
