The Baltimore and the DC IGDA chapters are both meeting this week. Both hold open meetings and welcome new people who are curious and possibly interested in joining. IGDA is a non-profit professional society that is committed to advancing the careers and enhancing the lives of game developers by connecting members with their peers, promoting professional development, and advocating on issues that affect the developer community. If you are serious about a career in the game industry the local IGDA chapters are a great way to learn about it and to begin building your professional network.

Wednesday 10 October at 7:00pm the Baltimore IGDA chapter will meet at the 2nd floor of the Treehouse Restaurant and Lounge in Cockeysville (map). Chapter officers (president, content/speaker manager, sponsorship manager, community/web manager) will be elected.
