Conferences & Opportunities

Our IMGD students have access to a wide range of professional gatherings where they can demo their projects, attend academic and professional talks, compete for awards, and present their work to industry leaders and the general public—so, get involved! Networking at events like PAX East and being involved in local game programs like MassDigi’s Game Challenge are the best way to get your foot in the door and jumpstart your career in IMGD.

PAX East

PAX East happens every year at the Boston Convention and Entertainment Center. Participants can attend panels and talks, compete in tournaments, or just try out a new game in the free play areas. A large expo hall features hundreds of booths—everything from AAA publishers, like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, to the smallest indie games showing off their years of work.
