Playful

Cool, I’m going to Playful next week! Playful is a one day conference in London all about game design – apparently the talks are going to revolve around the nature of games as well and that’s something I’m really interested in.

Funnily enough I’m doing an internal presentation here for the iris Digital team about Playing games so I’m full on into the topic – though my presentation is more about play as a concept and I’m not really going to talk about video games whereas it seems Playful will be. I’ll definitely put the deck up on Slideshare afterwards.

The conference has a good speaker lineup, including Alex Fleetwood from Hide and Seek, Adrian and Dan Hon, who are sort of ARG gurus, and Iain Tait from Poke.
