Serious Games Summit Call for Papers Extended to Today

Posted by Peter Smith on 06-06-07

It’s that time again. Time to collect all your research, prototypes, good ideas and finished projects and submit them for public scrutiny (friendly helpful scrutiny) at this year’s Serious Games Summit DC. If you have not made it to a DC summit yet, let me tell you it is worth your time. I personally like the DC summit more than the GDC summit. The atmosphere tends to be much more focused on serious games because the people there are genuinely interested in serious games (Unlike the GDC version which tends to bring out more of the "2 more days off" folks). This almost intimate group fosters the ability to give more in depth and critical presentations than is possible in other venues. So, if you are working on a serious games project and you want to have a receptive and interested audience, submit your abstract by the end of the day today. You can submit your proposals here.
