Meaningful Play 2008 is an interdisciplinary academic conference that explores the potential of games to entertain, inform, educate, and persuade in meaningful ways. The conference includes thought-provoking keynotes from leaders in academia and industry, peer-reviewed paper presentations, panel sessions (including academic and industry discussions), innovative workshops, roundtable discussions, and exhibitions of games.
The call for papers deadlines has past, but there is still time to submit games and poster proposals (deadline is August 15, 2008.)
Games – The Meaningful Play Game Exhibition and Competition allows academic, independent, experimental, serious game, and/or student developers to gain recognition for their creative/innovative work in game design and development.
Posters – Poster submissions should present research or design work whose topic directly advances the Meaningful Play 2008 topics. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research or design are particularly encouraged to be submitted to the poster session.
