Reporting Back: at Madison for the GLS Conference / June 23-24
As described earlier, we hosted a luncheon this past week on the topic of "facilitating multi-sector partnerships around research, publicity and game development" at the GLS Conference in Madison, Wisconsin. The conference drew more than 300 attendees for a fantastic and diverse look into learning and digital games.
The luncheon was attended by foundations, reporters, game designers, teachers, nonprofits, researchers and others. More than four discussion tables tackled how collaboration between fields can overcome mutual challenges. Moderated by Benjamin Stokes, the event built on G4C's earlier presence at GDC and E3 to expand our fledgling community.
A nice bonus was a front-page article mentioning Games For Change in the Wisconsin State Journal which described our work in "bringing together nonprofits and others across the country to develop games that create awareness and action on social problems ranging from hunger to AIDS" (too bad they didn't mention G4C's name!).
