GAME and the GGC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The department of Game Design<\/a> at Uppsala University campus Gotland, has been teaching game design and development since 2001. The Gotland Game Conference is an annual (very public!<\/em>) evaluation of our work. The general public, international industry, academia and press are invited to help scrutinize our output, hone our process and celebrate our results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our students kick start the event with presentations of their projects<\/a>; exposing themselves and the education to insightful critique from an experienced panel of developers, designers, thinkers and artists. We then proceed with a two day conference; wide-ranging talks from brilliant people are interspersed with networking on the show floor, among the student\u2019s games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference aim to push the boundaries of our field – we go out of our way to invite speakers that have seen further and thought deeper than any of us. That said, we are not a technological<\/em> conference – we care about the culture and human expression – so even the most far-reaching presenters remain accessible to a wide audience of non-experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
