International Game Developer's Association (IGDA) Chicago is a local chapter of a much larger, international, non-profit membership organization serving individuals who create video games. We bring together developers at conferences, in local chapters and in special interest groups to improve their lives and craft. Developers, aspiring developers, students, or people who just love games are welcome to attend our meetups, game jams, classes, panels, and everything else!
