Indie Giving

The Indie Giving event was an incredible program that allowed game developers to attend the Game Developers Conference 2024 in San Francisco at a discounted rate while giving back to the community. Volunteers snagged an All Access pass, along with a cool t-shirt to remember the experience! Everyone who signed up took part in a charity event supporting Compass Family Services the day before GDC kicked off, with all donations going directly to support their amazing work.
