Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in IGDA Champaign-Urbana!

The IGDA (also known as the “International Game Developers’ Association”) is the world’s largest nonprofit membership organization serving all individuals who create games.

The IGDA advances the careers and enhances the lives of game developers by connecting members with their peers, promoting professional development, and advocating for the interests of game developers worldwide.

Run by volunteer leaders and supported by the IGDA’s international headquarters, IGDA chapters represent the IGDA and advance its mission locally through regular events, community outreach, education, and advocacy efforts. Chapters also help connect their members to a global community of IGDA chapters, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and committees around the world.

IGDA Champaign-Urbana is open to everyone in our local community with an interest in game development regardless of age, experience, employment, school enrollment, or IGDA membership status. Whether you’re a professional, student, or hobbyist, you’re invited to participate in our chapter!
