2014 GO423 Symposium Call for panels, workshops and games for exhibition now OPEN

2014: Game On Symposium – Dates: 9 – 10  August 2014

GameOnBannerDRAFT03

This two-day symposium event returns for the third year!  We have chosen the theme: ROUTES inspired by the lines from the Frost poem – the road less travelled – because it sums up the spirit of our game making community who take the road less travelled, who adventure into terrain unknown and often insecure in order to make the wonderful things we call games ….

Guest speakers, panel discussions, workshops, test and play opportunities, an open-mic session and much more will feature during the Symposium weekend. The event has proved a valuable opportunity for networking amongst the gaming community and an important opportunity to show case work being developed in Brisbane and Queensland.

Come and play:
