Kids, family, and friends are all welcome. As always you do not need to be an IGDA member to attend our events and we would like to welcome all of the local groups we have collaborated with this year on events, Seattle Indies, Seattle AR/VR, Foundry 10, Seattle Ed Tech and more to join us. We will be grilling in at two times for those arriving earlier or later in the day: Lunch: 12-2pm, Dinner: 6-8pm
