By networking, we simply mean
ge ing out and meeting people within the industry.
You can do this by going to industry-related events,
a ending conferences and conventions, reaching out
to people in the industry via the Internet, and getting
introductions via friends and relatives who know
people in the industry.
Organizations
Joining organizations related to the industry is one way
of meeting people. One of the best to consider joining
is the International Game Developers Association, or
the IGDA. The IGDA is an international organization
of programmers, designers, artists, producers, and
many other types of industry professionals that fosters
community and action for the furthering of games
as a medium. The organization has local chapters in
many geographic locations; you can ?¬? nd out if there is
one near you by going to www.igda.org/chapters.
Chapters o en hold networking events, lectures,
and other opportunities to meet people who are
working in the industry. There are membership fees
for this organization, but if you are a student, you can
get a reduced rate.
