Members:
The IGDA Analytics SIG is a community established to enable the connection of developers for the purpose of networking, group learning, identification of challenges and endeavoring to advance the industry. While the International Game Developers Association® provides the infrastructure to establish and operate special interest groups, each SIG is volunteer-driven and self-sustaining.
From industry leaders to students looking to learn more about analytics, all are welcome to join the Analytics SIG.
Steering Committee:
