Overview

The IGDA, in coordination with its Production SIG, is hosting the third annual IGDA Leadership Forum. This event will focus on advancing the state of the art in game production and management.

The second IGDA Leadership Forum (LF2008) was a smashing success with top rated sessions by Mark Cerny (Cerny Games), Michael Saladino (EA), David Edery (Microsoft), and Curtis Creamer (Bungie). In addition, we welcomed 330+ delegates from over 12 countries, including the UK, Sweden and Australia.

The 2009 IGDA Leadership Forum will continue the format of three tracks – Personal, Project, and Studio – that encompass a broad range of leadership topics. The sessions will run in parallel tracks and will consist of a mix of lectures, panels, and interactive workshop sessions.
