Game Development Career Fair

Connecting today’s top game studios with tomorrow’s top talent

ÃÛÌÒ½´Guildhall's Game Development Career Fair connects aspiring game creators with the industry’s top game studios and tech companies

During the Fair, hiring employers speak with and interview game development job-seeking students from ÃÛÌÒ½´Guildhall* as well as alumni seeking new opportunities.

Our next Career Fair will take place: April 10, 2025

*Pause! Critical Note: This event is for ÃÛÌÒ½´Guildhall game development only. It is only applicable to recruiters seeking to hire for game development related opportunities. If you are a recruiter or job seeker who has found this page and are looking for a ÃÛÌÒ½´career fair that is NOT game development related, you will need to contact SMU's overarching career services department: HEGI Family Career Development Center. ÃÛÌÒ½´Guildhall's private Career Fair is not open to the public; we will not admit any job seekers who are not a student or alumnus of the Guildhall game development graduate program.
