How to Get One
Every year, there’s an annual event, the Game Developer’s Conference, held in San Francisco. It bills itself as the “official trade event by developers for developers.” You can read about it at www.gdconf.com.
Job seekers should also look into the International Game Developer’s Association, (www.IGDA.org), which has chapters worldwide. According to its website, “the IGDA is a non-profit professional society that is committed to advancing the careers and enhancing the lives of game developers by connecting members with their peers, promoting professional development, and advocating on issues that affect the developer community.”
