ABOUT BUSGDA

BUS Game Devs is a not-for-profit organization that brings the local Vancouver game development community together with a variety of events each year.
Originally founded by students from UBC, SFU, and BCIT, BUS has run the two largest community game jams in the province since 2019.
Our new initiative is Vancouver Game Dev Series (VGDS) which will bring fantastic speakers, industry veterans and hobbyists to learn and share from their experience.
