Meet new people in games, art, programming, music, marketing, animation, design, project management, and more! We’ll be hosting breakout sessions and helping people meet up with the intention of finding new teammates for the coming Summer Slow Jams!

We will be meeting in the Speed Meet Voice & Video channel of the PIGSquad Discord and breaking out into meeting rooms from there if needed.

Join the PIGSquad Discord here!

Feel free to work on projects during this time, or invite friends to hang out with! Participants are required to follow the PIGSquad code of conduct.

Share your projects, chat with the community, and participate in hosted activities to meet new people for the coming Summer Slow Jams or other projects!

Bring your laptop, drawing tablet, paper, prototypes, boardgames, etc. to work on some game code, art, reviews, testing, play, or anything in between in the company of fellow local game devs and enthusiasts! Lots of people bring games to play with each other, bring a work-in-progress to ask for feedback or advice, or spend time asking others about what they're working on. If you don't have something to work on, feel free to hang out: this is a welcoming, open social setting for meeting local players and developers.

Starting at 7pm and cycling through the evening, we will host specific team forming activities for you to meet new people, talk about your projects, and discuss working with each other on future projects.

In between speed meets, circle back with people you’ve met and continue to discuss plans, share your work, or co-work until the next session starts.

Set yourself a goal of learning people’s names and starting the conversation for upcoming projects, including the Summer Slow Jam kicking off in August.
