A Decade of Devs. A Night to Remember.

It's the CGDA's 10th Anniversary!

Join us as we celebrate 10 incredible years of community, creativity, and collaboration in Calgary’s game development scene!

From humble beginnings to a thriving non-profit with over 1,800 Discord members, 80 active members, and partnerships with amazing organizations like Platform Calgary, Bow Valley College, and Calgary Economic Development, the Calgary Game Developers Association (CGDA) has become the beating heart of Calgary’s game dev community.

We’re throwing a party — and you’re invited.
