Announcing the 7th Annual Games for Change Festival - May 24-26 2010

Posted by Mark Smith on 12-21-09

On May 25th, we will feature a series of short talks by thought leaders on the future of digital media. Speakers include Clay Shirky, intertnet expert and author of Here Comes Everybody; Katie Salen, Executive Director of NYC’s innovative “game school” Quest To Learn; Nick Bilton, specialist at the New York Times R & D Lab & author of the forthcoming book, I Live In The Future And Here’s How It Works; Dr. James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, Arizona State University; Micah Sifry, co-founder TechPresident.com and Personal Democracy Forum, and many others.

Also, back by popular demand is the 101 Workshop on May 24 (under separate registration and open to all.) We will also have new programming for youth educators using games, a special session on assessment, a private funders meeting, and of course the Expo Night where festival-goers can play the newest games firsthand in a lively and action-packed atmosphere. And as always, we’ll have expert sessions, provocative lunch discussions, and ample networking opportunities.

For more information, please see the general festival web site here.
