Sandbox Symposium

ACM SIGGRAPH is hosting a two-day video game symposium co-located with SIGGRAPH 06.

The symposium will consist of keynotes by Ian Shaw of Electronic Arts and Greg Costikyan of Man!festo Games, panels and peer reviewed papers focused on industry and scholarly perspectives on how videogames are designed and developed; analysis of the experience and pleasures of gameplay; and critical articles on the value and significance of videogames as cultural artifacts.

In addition, a "Hot Games" session will preview unreleased titles from major game companies and independent developers, and recently released and classic titles will be available to try.
