We are currently accepting proposals now until March 15th.
We’d like to receive from our community not only concrete proposal submissions, but we also welcome feedback on the kinds of subject matter you’d like to hear about.  Please send proposals to: with “2007 G4C Festival proposal” in the subject header by March 15.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Session Criteria

  • Importance/relevance to the emerging field of social change/social issue games
  • Expertise/experience of panelists - ability to communicate ideas effectively
  • Thought-provoking/discussion - worthy subject matter (Making “statements” is less interesting than fostering discussion across multiple viewpoints)
  • New approach or new content - (different from last year or what you’ve seen at other conferences)
