Christian Game Developers Conference Comes to California July 14-16

Lorraine Mabbett Editor

Christian Game Developers is an organization dedicated to helping Christians in the game industry connect with and support one another.

We hold an annual conference for networking and learning about the latest technologies and ideas and we also foster a passionate community year-round, as well as help facilitate smaller, localized events. The CGDC is a nonprofit organization based out of Oregon.

WHO CAN ATTEND?

CGDC strives to reflect Christian values and, as such, is inclusive by nature. No one will ask for, nor check, any type of “credentials”.

The friendships forged at the annual Christian Game Developers Conference have resulted in the formation of studios and the development of countless games.

The conference is intended for those interested in the development of Christian games of all types:

video/computer
tabletop
board
card games.

Attending will be:

People of all skill levels
Hobbyists
Professional developers.
Believers working on non-Christian games
Non-game makers interested in the use of Christian games for their ministry or the surrounding community.
Many successful Christian game studios will be in attendance
Individual programmers, artists, designers, composers, writers, and voice-over actors

Our attendees tend to be open and willing to share their expertise.

Age is not a barrier to participation.

Our venue is requiring that all attendees be 18 years or older. If younger than that, they need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
