Game developers have a voice.
The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is the world’s largest nonprofit membership organization serving all individuals who create games.
We advance the careers and enhance the lives of game developers by connecting members with their peers, promoting professional development, and advocating for the interests of game developers worldwide.
Who We Are
We are a global network of collaborative communities and individuals from all fields of game development, including programmers and producers, designers and artists, writers, businesspeople, QA team members, localization experts, and everyone else who participates in the game development process.
We bring together developers in over 160 local chapters and global special interest groups (SIGs) to improve their lives and their craft.
