Seattle Indies Expo 2
Date: Sunday, July 29th, 2012, 10am - 5pm
Location: DigiPen - Redmond, WA
Seattle Indies Expo (aka SIX) is a games industry event devoted to Seattle-area small and independent game developers. Our goal is to provide a venue for indies to show off their projects, share experiences, and learn more about the local industry in which they live and work. SIX is also a place for aspiring developers to see what’s going on in the community, become a part of it, and make new friends.
