Panel discussion: With Ian Bogost, Ph.D., as moderator, guest speakers Greg Costikyan, Tracy Fullerton and Eric Zimmerman will discuss topics related to this year’s theme: alternative gaming and emerging game concepts. The panel and moderator also will open the floor to attendees for questions or comments.

Roundtable discussions: Conference speakers will host informal small-group conversations with attendees on varying topics specific to their expertise.

Reception: Conference speakers and attendees are invited to enjoy a night of entertainment featuring “Entelechy,” the SCAD interactive design and game development juried student exhibition.
