Current Status
This is my first post since the new IGDA global site has been set up, the old site was not compatable with my ISP's proxy server, and so it was exceedingly difficult to post updates.
My personal goal over the next year is to increase communication with the community. Both for my studio responsibilities (at Novaleaf Game Studios) but also as Chapter Coordinator for IGDA Bangkok Thailand.
Another goal of mine is to help organize a professional developer conference in Bangkok over the next year, my lofty goal is a "mini-gdc", ultra low budget, but a developer conference taylored to the business and professional environment found in Bangkok, and offer tangible benifits to the local development community.
Post to TwitterChapter Info, next meeting in May.

We started the new BKK chapter in November 2008 along with the ThaiGameDevX.com dev conference at the Thailand Chamber Of Commerice University.
IGDABKK at the Bangkok International Film Festival 2006
The IGDA - Bangkok Chapter(IGDABKK) has been contacted by A. Kasem Lumpoon of the Thai Animation & Multimedia Association (TAMMA) regarding an invitation to share a booth at the Bangkok International Film Festival (http://www.bangkokfilm.org) just on the evening of February 8, 2005. After discussions with the local chapter, we have planned to set up the booth on the theme “Overview of the Game Development Industry In Thailand” in which we aim to provide a quick overview of the games, company, indie studios, independent developer works, and other interesting facets of the game development industry in Thailand in an unbiased way to visitors and guests of the festival that are mostly in the movie industry. In the festival we plan to show video presentations of different organizations, distribute flyers (Company/Organization/Developer Profile) and contact information for inquiring visitors if they are interested in certain organizations.
