Future Play 2005 in Michigan this Fall
Future Play 2005, the International Academic Conference on the Future of Game Design and Technology, will take place October 13-15, 2005 at Michigan State University. The Future Play conference focuses on three main themes. The first theme, future game development, addresses academic research and emerging industry trends in the area of game technology and game design. The second theme, future game impacts and applications, includes academic research and emerging industry trends focused on designing games for learning, for gender, for serious purposes, and to impact society. Finally, the third theme, future game talent, is designed to provide a number of industry and academic perspectives on the knowledge, skills, and attitude it takes to excel in the games industry.
A limited number of half price student-only registration slots are available for the conference, so act quickly if you are a student.
There is a call for games, papers, and posters if you wish to exhibit your design work or research at the conference.
There is also an independent game competition held at the conference. Michigan IGDA members, this is a great venue to exhibit your Made in Michigan games alongside games from submissions around the world.
Details are available at futureplay.org.
