New Event Partnership: Games for Change Conference
Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 8:39AM Games for Change Conference
We have joined the Games for Change nonprofit organization as an Institutional Partner on their 8th annual Games for Change conference June 20-22 at NYU's Skirball Center in NYC. Games for Change is the leading global advocate for supporting and making games for social impact. The annual Games for Change Festival is the largest gaming event in New York City and the only international event united “games for change” creators, the public, civil society, academia, the gaming industry and media. Attendees of the Festival can enjoy over 30+ hours of keynotes, presentations, panels and more. Last year's Keynotes included the Honorable Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the first US Chief Technology Office Aneesha Chopra. In addition to various live play sessions, this year’s event will feature a “Game Arcade”, highlighting the nominees for this year’s Games for Change Awards. And while the focus is on games, our Festival is the perfect place to network with decision-makers from the government and NGOs, innovative game designers and publishers, visionary thought leaders in education and global development and members of the media. Updates on this year's programming to follow as well as discounted invites for The Hollywood Hill's members…

Looking forward to meeting you all at the conference. Our SOS_SLAVES: Changing the Trafficking Game Concept Demo, which was developed at BAVC's Producers Institute for New Media Technology, has been selected to the Games for Change Festival Demo Spotlight and we will be presenting it on Tues June 21st at 4:30 pm. I hope you can all attend. (We are not far from the Hollywood Hills BTW.)
