What is a Roundtable?
A roundtable is a format for hosting discussions with a large group of people. You may be familiar with it if you’ve ever been to one of the roundtable events at GDC. Participants are encouraged to speak openly, bring up questions, and contribute to each other’s points, while a moderator keeps the conversation organized and on track.
The goal of this event is to allow chapter leaders to share tips with each other on how to best run their communities. This is a great opportunity to see how other chapters do things and to get help with any problems that your chapter may be experiencing.
Who is allowed to attend?
This event is designed for anyone who helps run an IGDA academic chapter, or a student club that’s in the process of becoming a chapter. If you’d like to invite a few non-officer members from your chapter to participate, that’s fine.
How do I sign up?
To register for the roundtable, fill out this poll to help us determine the date and time of the event. A few days before the event, we’ll send out emails and post announcements with the final date and time. At the start of the event, we’ll post the link to join the call.
What if I miss the event?
We won’t be able to accommodate every timezone, but we will try to make a recording that’s available to everyone.
