For those of you who can’t make it to the IGDA Annual Meeting (March 12th, noon Pacific time at GDC Room 133 North Hall), we have partnered with GameDev.net to do a live stream of the event. I encourage you to watch! The stream is open to the general public, no IGDA membership required. Click here for a gCal reminder:
We’re going to try and archive the video too — there may be some legalities to be ironed out on that front. Probably not, but you never know what the union regulations at a convention center are. I’m looking into the matter.
Detailed info:
IGDA Annual Meeting @ GDC – Watch Live!
The IGDA Annual Meeting is a yearly session that takes place during GDC where the Board of Directors and organization management present a rundown of the association’s progress over the last year, as well as an indication of what’s in store for 2010. Attendees also get to meet the newly-elected Board members and have a direct Q&A session with the Board to address any issues the membership may have. In the past, this was limited to those in attendance, but this year anyone with an internet connection can tune in live to take part in the Board Q&A session. GameDev.net will be streaming this meeting over their uStream broadcast channel and online chat will be enabled to allow viewers to comment on the discussion.
Where: GameDev.net Live
When: Friday, March 12th from 12pm-1pm PST
(if you are attending GDC, this is in Room 133, North Hall)
This event will take place assuming suitable network connection is available for streaming. At the very least, we will attempt an audio stream. While questions will be taken from the chat room, precedence will be given to those members in attendance. Comments, however, will be actively voiced aloud by the moderator to add to the discussion assuming they are relevant and thoughtful.
Still can’t make the live event? We’ll do our best to get permission from GDC officials to record it as well so you can view it later and join in on the discussion in the IGDA forums.
