NOTE: This meeting is now online only

The Global Game Jam is an incomparable opportunity for students, hobbyists and pros to develop and improve their game dev skills. Join us Jan. 16 at Georgia State University’s Creative Media Industries Institute as we share tips for how you can get the most out of this event.

This is also a great opportunity to form teams you can work with at the jam and beyond, as well as to learn about our annual Best in Georgia competition. It is also a good chance to learn what goes into making games, even if you will not be part of the game jam.
