Our excellent highly interactive web site and our g.a.n.g awards program are two of the primary means that we have used to unify the members of the interactive audio community under one banner. We have been able to provide a representative voice for members, evangelizing the common interests of the group to the broader entertainment community. We have created networking opportunities for members to facilitate learning from others and the development of new contacts. The g.a.n.g awards program provides a platform for the recognition of excellence in interative audio through the annual g.a.n.g awards process and awards show. The education and mentorship program provides a mechanism for qualifying students to receive mentoring and industry event passes through the g.a.n.g. Scholar's program.
