The GIG (Games Industry Gathering) is a virtual networking event created to virtually replicate the experience of connecting with industry friends and strangers in real life. It was created by games industry events veteran Guy Blomgberg as a response to the wave of event cancellation that began in 2020. Since its creation, the GIG has already gathered over 3000 members of the games industry from around the world who meet up every Friday of the week to feel connected.
One of the priorities of GIG is to create a safe and welcoming space for anyone and everyone in the games industry.
