Back in November, we mentioned the upcoming Games+Learning+Society Conference (GLS 6.0), June 9-11, 2010, in Madison, Wisconsin. The deadline for submissions has been moved to February 15, 2010, so if you haven't submitted your proposal for a talk yet, now is the time!
If you haven't heard, this year's conference themes are:
- Formal & informal science literacy
- Media production & identity
- Game design & learning
Conference highlights include:
- Keynotes by leaders in both academics and industry;
- Interactive workshops on game research and game design;
- Both individual and symposia presentation sessions;
- “Chat n’ frags” and hands-on gameplay in the arcade;
- An evening poster session over cocktails & hors d'oeuvres;
- An evening machinima festival in the playhouse theatre;
- Fireside chats that enable thorough, cozy conversations among VIP speakers and attendees; and
- GLS's signature Thursday night dinner and marquee presentation.
Confirmed Speakers include: Henry Jenkins, James Paul Gee, Drew Davidson, Alan Collins, David Wiley, Kurt Squire, Reed Stevens, and Rich Lemarchand.
And, as a sponsor of the GLS Conference, LGN will be sending folks, too. Hope to see you there!
