THE CARE OF THE FUTURE OF GAMES IS OURS

...and when we democratize games education, we all win.

Waffle Games is the EGD's annual convention and conference held each spring semester run by students, for students. After three years of a virtual-only experience, Waffle Games is finally back in NYC as a hybrid event across two days! Our virtual event was broadcasted to over 500 attendees from 21 different countries, and our 2019 event brought in over 500 students to Hunter College to play, design, compete, and learn. We're excited to welcome you back in-person this year at City College!

More than just an affordable con, Waffle Games is a celebration of what it means to be involved with gaming. Panels, workshops, tournaments, and an expo hall come to life every spring with one mission: to allow everyone the chance to get involved with the community, chase their dreams, and change our industry for the better.

The full schedule is still a work in progress as there are sessions that are yet to be announced, but we've already got some great sessions confirmed from speakers such as:

• Josh Mancell, Freelance Composer (Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter)
• Tori Schafer, Senior Narrative Designer - World of Warcraft @ Activision Blizzard
• Thomas Winkley, Senior Technical Marketing Advocate @ Unity
• Jason Keyser, Founder @ VFX Apprentice / Former Senior VFX Artist, Riot Games
• Rob Howland, Arcade Game Developer @ Three Flip Studios

and lots more!
