Welcome to GLS 4.0!

The GLS Conference is about real-life people playing real-life video games, and what they learn from doing it; it fosters substantive discussion and collaboration among academics, designers, and educators interested in how game technologies — commercial games and others — can enhance learning, culture, and education.

Highlights

• Explore topics like game design, game culture, and using games for learning
• Take part in hands-on workshops, by and for gamers, researchers, and designers
• Engage in fireside chats with industry leaders and other special guests
• Play (and learn about) the latest games in a dorm-style arcade
• View live webcasts of selected conference sessions
• Enjoy our signature Thursday night dinner party
