I restarted the IGDA’s London Chapter with a regular programme of cultural, professional and social events aimed at video game industry working professionals and those looking to enter the industry. During my tenure as Chair, we saw 570 attendees across 25 events.

The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is the world's largest nonprofit membership organisation serving all individuals who create games. Each chapter around the world is volunteer-led. As the London Chapter, we would organise regular accessible events under the IGDA banner, which gives this community an opportunity to unite and flourish. You do not need to be a member of the IGDA to attend most of these events, however, there are some member-only, special events each year.

Summarised, our purpose is for members of the IGDA London Chapter to: Belong, Bond and Learn.
One thing we collectively identified is that the community was desperate for non-drinking focused events. Many developers feel uncomfortable attending evening, bar or pub located networking events. We identified that non-drinking events are regularly oversubscribed and that our community is certainly underserved by the current offerings available in London. We made room for a great deal more knowledge sharing and non-drinking focused events.
