What we run

Monthly, informal, members-first. The backbone of the community.

Open to everyone. The main on-ramp for people new to the industry.

Shared pavilions and delegations at international shows, at member rates.

An annual, juried celebration of Ugandan games and the people behind them.

We are always looking for venues, speakers and sponsors outside Kampala especially.
