New England Games SIG

As part of the MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge, The New England Games and Interactive Entertainment Special Interest Group (NE Games SIG) is the intersection for a dynamic games and interactive entertainment industry in the Boston area and New England.

Through partnerships as well as networking and educational events, the NE Games SIG seeks to further develop the local games and interactive entertainment industry, to drive awareness of New England as a “hub” of the game industry, and encourage growth in our area.

Regularly scheduled NE Games SIG educational events concentrate on the timely issues influencing this converging industry. Sessions are designed to address topical concerns and encourage networking amongst established industry players as well as fledgling game, virtual world and entertainment companies.

Executives from local game development companies as well as interactive entertainment entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, publishers, and service providers catering this industry, are encouraged to attend our events.
