The kickoff. Every game begins at the menu screen, and every great initiative needs a starting point. The Game Start Social is where the Catalyst Gaming Sandbox begins: an in-person mixer to meet the community, enjoy specialty drinks, and get the first look at what’s ahead.

Why it matters: This is where connections start. Before a single game is built, the Social brings developers, industries, mentors, and partners into the same room, so everyone knows who’s in the Sandbox and how to take part.
