This panel session gathers some of the community leaders from Australia and New Zealand to discuss what works, what doesn't and what's changed along the way in terms of community building in the local game development sector.  

It will address questions such as how do we create spaces and opportunities for games practitioners? What have we done right and wrong and how can we support each other in developing our development community.
