IGDA Denmark Special Interest Groups Launch Party
Posted: 10 Jun 2009, 12:13
The Danish Chapter of International Game Developer’s Association launches Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and you are invited to join!
The Danish Chapter of IGDA (IGDA.DK) continues our work for the danish game development community by launching SIGs in Game Design, Audio Design, Quality Assurance & Game Business.
SIGs are groups of people with an interest in the relevant topic that meets on a regular basis to exchange knowledge, network or discuss developments within the field. The SIGs are coordinated by IGDA.dk. Participation in the SIGs is free and doesn’t require membership of IGDA.
IGDA.dk is making a Launch Party for the SIGs on 18:00 Thursday 25 of June at the Scrollbar in the IT-University Of Copenhagen. At the event you’ll be able to learn about the IGDA, meet the coordinators of the different SIGs and participate in the first SIG-meetings where you’ll be able to influence the future development of the SIGs.
We’re launching 4 SIGs:
Game Design SIG is coordinated by Miguel Sicart. Miguel is Assistant Professor at the Center for Computer Game Research, IT University of Copenhagen and have recently released his first book – The Ethics Of Computergames – at MIT Press. He teaches Game Design & Game Theory at the IT-University in Copenhagen.
Audio Design SIG is coordinated by Nevin Eronde from Nevin Sound. Nevin is a freelance audio designer and have done audio design for among others NDS, Krea Media & Sirius Games. Her weblog is at nevinsound.com. Read more: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nevineronde
