(Cross-posted from sherirubin.com.) Hi All, I don’t have a lot of energy to do a full IGDA Leadership Forum recap post. I will say that once again the LF didn’t disappoint and although there is a small minority who wishes the LF was in a different city (or other events in another country), or moved [...]

(Cross-posted from sherirubin.com.) Going to make this a quick one, I hope. I’m now sitting in my hotel room at the Sheraton LAX after attending the IGDA LA’s mixer to kick off the IGDA Leadership Forum. The IGDA’s mixer was located in one of the bars of the Sheraton and was attended by both IGDA [...]

(Cross-posted from sherirubin.com.) Hi All, I’ve now been on this road trip for 30 days – a whole month has gone by since I left Chicago and headed west. I’ve had another busy week of meetings and work but I’m excited to be here in Seattle. On October 4th I met up with Jon Kimmich [...]
