The games industry is one of the most innovative sectors in our society. We have innovated from the arcade to the home console, from 8-bit cartridges to Virtual Reality, and the handheld to Augmented Reality. It is now time to innovate how we approach the actual development process, who we include in those conversations, and what audiences are we attempting to capture.

This roundtable will be a discussion about how Black Developers Matter in the games industry. The future to our industry is how we answer these questions today, and how we will approach them tomorrow
