The Games Industry Gathering will be holding it's first IRL event!! With caution and optimism in mind, we are hosting an afternoon/evening outdoor catch-up in a park, including BBQ, games, and networking activities!

Made possible thanks to the sponsorship and support from Genvid, we are also collaborating with Seattle Indies (and Seattle Indie Expo), the event will only be open to invited guests, members of the GIG (who register), and everyone must show proof of vaccination.

The event will start at 3pm PT on Friday, 3rd of September and run until it gets too dark. We have permits for a local park in downtown Seattle, however the location will only be revealed to registered and invited guests closer to the event itself.

We'll have a BBQ going (with vegan options), drinks, outdoor games, and some networking activities. Feel absolutely free to bring any additional food, drinks, or games - we'll have a decent amount of picnic tables available as well.

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!
