December 2008 Meeting Recap

Submitted by tristin hightower on Sun, 2009/01/04 - 15:23

The December Philly IGDA meeting proved to be another exciting meeting with a great turnout. Alex Horn opened things up by recounting his experiences at the Montreal International Games Summit. After hearing about the speakers and events at MIGS, I don’t think many would pass up an opportunity to make it to next year’s summit.
