IndieGameBusiness and MeetToMatch have announced Game Dev Career Days, the pair’s first online career fair, which will take place on June the 10th and 11th.

Companies already signed up to attend include Mipumi, HandyGames, League of Geeks, Big Ant Studios, Fundamentally Games, Remote Control Productions, Behaviour Interactive, and much more.

It’s wonderful to see IndieGameBusiness and MeetToMatch working hard to support these developers and the IGDA is ecstatic to partner with this event to help developers find employment during these turbulent times.”
