Digital Networking: Posting Your Way To a Job

Networking in the games industry is hard enough, but how does traditional advice apply to the internet? What are best practices for networking online? ...And can posting memes, insights, or even steamy Garrus fanfiction get you a job interview? 

Game developers Anna C. Webster and Kay Bell share their thoughts and experiences with digital networking to help those in non-industry center cities or otherwise online make the most out of their digital industry presence. 

This workshop will be held online and recorded via Zoom. For those who can't attend, there is a "can't attend" ticket type available if you'd like to receive a notification when the recording is publicized.
