9th Annual Games for Change Festival

Festival

Games for Change facilitates the creation and distribution of social impact games that serve as critical tools in humanitarian and educational efforts. Through the Games for Change Festival we bring together funders, NGOs, corporations, government agencies and educators seeking to leverage entertainment and engagement for social good with leading game developers from the independent and commercial sector.

Through case studies, roundtables, lectures and demos, we look to highlight models for collaboration on game development and distribution, bridging the gap between commercial and issue driven games.

Location: The 9th Annual Games for Change Festival will be held at New York University’s Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.

Who attends: Decision-makers from government agencies and NGOs, innovative game developers and publishers, visionary thought leaders in education and global development and members of the media.

Planned for 2012: Opening Night, Game Arcade, Keynotes, Games for Change Awards and Ceremony, Games for Learning Institute @ Games for Change Festival,
Youth Game Design Workshops, Game Demo Spotlight… others to be announced
