Playful Conference
Posted October 22nd 2009 under Events
On Friday 30th I’m looking forward to talking at Playful in London:
“Playful is a one-day event all about games and play – in all their manifestations, throughout the contemporary media landscape. It’s a conference for architects, artists, designers, developers, geeks, gurus, gamers, tinkerers, thinkerers, bloggers, joggers, and philosophers. We look at what PLAY means both creatively and culturally, and put speakers on the stage who offer different perspectives on where we are currently, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. We want people walking away talking about the nature of games…what they mean to different people inside, on the periphery, outside or miles away from the industry.”
Theres a great lineup of speakers, including:
James Bridle, Robin Burkinshaw, Rexbox (LittleBigPlanet), Russell Davies, Alfie Dennen & Paula Le Dieu (Bus-tops), Kareem Ettouney (Art Directore Media Molecule), Nicholas Felton, Duncan Gough, Leila Johnston, Katy Lindemann, Simon Oliver (Rolando / HandCircus), Molly Range, Roo Reynolds, Daniel Soltis, Tassos Stevens & Tim Wright.
You can buy tickets here, hope to see you there!
