Agenda

With the game industry becoming increasingly difficult to navigate due to shrinking budgets, layoffs, and an uncertain view of sustainability for the future, many professionals are finding themselves in dire straits. For marginalized developers, this is especially troublesome: in a field dominated by the most well-resourced, any increase in challenge can be disastrous for the less privileged. In our roundtable this year, we'll discuss how game audio professionals can continue pressing forward in spite of the challenges ahead. We'll lead three discussions focused on finding and giving one another practical support, remaining resilient in the face of adversity, and cultivating the hope necessary to make it all work.
