Upcoming events (4+)

Cleveland Game Devs Social Meetup

The Dealership

This is an in-person event.

At these monthly meetups, get together with game developers and enthusiasts in the Northeast Ohio area to discuss games, the indie scene, and the industry. All are welcome regardless of skill or knowledge; you don't have to be a programmer or an artist to join in.

Attending with recruiting as a singular goal is discouraged, but you can use the forums on Meetup for that. Members are advised to do detailed research and vetting before entering into any venture.

Excuse To Create

The MidTown Tech Hive

This event will be held in person at the Midtown Tech Hive.

This is our casual "Excuse To Create" meetup event. The purpose of this meetup is to give our members time & space to work on or share their projects away from distractions.

Want to brainstorm or ask questions of other developers? Want to turn up your headphones and code without family distractions? Maybe look for opportunities to collaborate, pair-program, or share your latest prototype? Then hopefully Excuse To Code will give you those opportunities.
