Hello VGIM Insiders,

I’ve got a few quick things before we get into this month’s Debrief.

The first VGIM Webinar takes place later today at 3pm UK time with the support of Catalyst from the Christchurch Call Foundation.

Join us for a free session about building healthier video game communities by signing up here.

Games for Change London is just two short weeks away. We’ll be announcing the full speaker line-up in Thursday’s VGIM. Get your ticket to the conference on the 15th on the London Games Fest website.

And finally, the Debrief is an exclusive email for VGIM Insiders.
