Serious Play Conference calls for speakers

Organisers of the Serious Play Conference have issued a call for speakers ahead for the second annual event in August.

The conference - to be held at the same venue as last year, the DigiPen Institute Of Technology in Redmond, Washington - will over the course of three days feature sessions held by publishers, developers, market analysts and other industry professionals using game technology in the fields of education, health care, government and the military.

The event also plays host to the Serious Play Awards. Last year Air Medic Space One, a project by the University Medical Centre Utrecht which teaches junior doctors to control their state of mind and body when under stress to avoid making mistakes, was named Best In Show. Chemistry puzzler SpaceChem, our indie game of 2011, won a Silver Award.

The Serious Games Conference 2011 runs from August 21-23. For more, follow the source link below.
