... to Stergios

We are all profoundly saddened to learn of the accidental death, on the afternoon of Saturday, March 31st, of our student Stergios Kardaras. We have all been deeply impacted by the tragedy. Stergios was a talented and vibrant young man, full of kindness and joy. Our heart goes out to his family and friends.

A Gaming Workshop !

The 1st Gaming forum is a fact ! It will take place on the 27th of April 2012, in Athens, Greece.

For quite some time we have been discussing about organising a game-related event, where topics ranging from entertainment games, serious games, games for good and games for change, gamification to gaming trends and the strategic positioning in numerous areas (i.e., education, marketing, branding, etc). This networking and information sharing event aims to bring together different gaming actors: individual gamers and game developers, researchers and academics conducting research in the broader area of gaming with entrepreneurs and corporate stakeholders.

The 1st Gaming Forum will involve:

a) the Gaming Convention
b) the Gaming Contest

Do you have an interesting game idea? Do you want to develop a game prototype (web or mobile)? The Gaming Forum offers you a chance to win a prize for each !

Enter the Gaming Contest to discover more info !

Good luck with that :)

p.s. The great gaming forum design is by Nikos Vasilakis. Great work Nikos !
