IMGD Events

Alphafest is a chance for the entire IMGD community to hang out together, show off project work in progress, conduct playtesting, gather feedback and eat pizza! All MQPs and grad projects due for completion in April 2020 are expected to exhibit at this event. Cool projects created for coursework or ISPs, as well as personal work, are also welcome.

Check out all the cool projects that our students have created in this all-out end-of-year showcase of IMGD creativity and innovation! Showcase your own IMGD creations, playtest others’ projects, and even network with industry professionals who will be interviewing student teams. It’s all here—at Showfest!

Think you have what it takes to “escape the room”? Be a part of our annual escape room adventure—designed by our very own students under the guidance Dean O’Donnell! Or be a part of designing the adventure and get some course credit while you’re at it!

Industry experts are wise, and, if you’re lucky enough to attend one of our IMGD celebrity speaker series events, they’ll pass that wisdom on to you. Our celebrity speakers enlighten students about industry practices, game design, and so much more!

Looking to develop a new skill in IMGD? Then keep an eye on our masterclass programs! We bring in industry professionals to teach our students specialized skills over the course of a few night classes. You may even end up with something for your portfolio!
