Overview

This June, the only conference dedicated to the exciting new movement using Digital Games for Social Change will explore real-world impact, the latest games and funding strategies. Hosted in New York City by Parsons The New School for Design, the 3rd annual Games for Change conference will take place on June 27th and 28th. Expert practitioners -- academics, activists, non-profits -- will be called in to examine the impact of current games, evaluations planned and the preliminary work to build the field. At the games Expo, designers will showcase their latest state-of-the-art games. Join us!

*** Update: the in-conference 'backchannel' for links to active blogs, websites and other resources discussed is open to contributions both for those attending, and those at a distance. It all starts at http://del.icio.us/tag/06-G4C.***
