Chapter Meeting
Southern California Game Industry Incentives: A Conversation Between Business and Government
Today Southern California is one of the game industry's largest hubs. What about tomorrow, next year, or ten years from now? Local game industry developers outsource more and more work to other states and countries due to powerful incentive programs promoting those locations. Aggressive recruitment efforts are drawing our best and brightest elsewhere. All of which raises a basic question. Is there anything we can do about it?
Can we incentivize local companies to hire locally? Can we give out-of-state and foreign companies incentives to outsource their work here? Can local municipalities craft incentives that make financial sense to both industry and government? Can we create a California Game Industry Incentive Program?
Let’s find out. Join the discussion on May 26th in Glendale.
NOTE: This event is expected to draw a large crowd. Please RSVP to guarantee admission.
