Audio Design Roundtable

Join us for the 5th IGDA Toronto event of 2025! This time we have a Roundtable about Audio Design at 7pm, followed by our traditional Meet & Mingle at 8pm at Great Lakes Brewpub.

Come to our Audio Design Roundtable to hear about the interesting experiences of our four incredible panelists. We’ll discuss their beginnings in the industry, careers, tools, trends, and more!
There will be time to ask them questions and listen to their Wwise advice!
