The IGDA Game Design SIG will be holding its annual SIG meeting and roundtable at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next week on Friday, March 3 from 10-11 AM in Moscone North Hall, Room 110.

Join us as we discuss 2016 highlights and accomplishments of the IGDA Game Design Special Interest Group (SIG) as well as plans for 2017 and beyond. Come prepared to discuss potential SIG projects, have an anecdotal conversation on designing games, and see how you can get more involved in the SIG.
