Industry Week

April 10th - 13th Industry Relations will be putting on Industry Week within the SCA campus. 

We will be having panel events and talks with industry writers, showrunners, game developers, business executives, and much more. We will also have food for attendees. The full calendar of events will be published soon.

This is an SCA student specific event. Additionally, the events will be first-come-first-serve due to building/room codes, so be sure to be there early.
