The Games Industry Gathering will be hosting an IRL gathering in San Francisco to kick off the start of GDC week!! A chance to catch-up in a private and exclusive space with your fellow game industry colleagues, we have an exclusive space booked - outdoors and undercover - with an allocation of free food and drink options available, as well as games, music, and other activities!

The event will start at 5pm PT on Monday, 20th of March and run until 8pm-ish. The location will only be revealed to registered and invited guests closer to the event itself, however note that it will be about an 8 minute drive/uber from the Moscone Center where GDC is hosted.

We're aiming for this to be a similar vibe to the GIG Zoom calls - hang out, chill out, make new industry friends, catch up with old colleagues. Look forward to hopefully seeing y'all in person!
