We are thrilled to announce that Stamford, CT will be a 2016 Global Game Jam site!
Over 500 sites in almost 80 countries participated in 2015. Stamford will be the first city in Connecticut to host a site. The dates for the 2016 Global Game Jam are January 29 – 31. We are looking for a few volunteers to help plan our local site event.
Our group will plan food and beverages, suggest potential speakers for Friday afternoon talks, provide access to common game development tools, ensure that we have IT support, and recruit local participants.
Please reach out to the Stamford Global Game Jam organizer, Cynthia Lyon, clyon@businessfairfield.com, to volunteer for this planning team. Register directly for the event on the Global Game Jam site.
Go Team Connecticut!
