Movie Room: The movie room provides a space for conference participants
to view webcasts of selected sessions as they happen. A great place to see sessions that have filled up. Or just to
multitask.

Dorm Room: Take a load off in the dorm room, equipped with gaming consoles
and computers, dorm fridge, used furniture… everything today’s gameroom might provide except perhaps the smell…

Fireside Chats are informal sessions that enable informal discussion among
smaller groups of attendees on specific topics of interest. Oftentimes at conferences, attendees have little chance to personally
interact with key participants and/or colleagues with shared interests. Our goal of hosting fireside chats is to enable just such
informal sociability. Scheduled content below:

Chat 'n' Frag sessions are hands-on gaming sessions with selected game researchers,
designers, and/or players. These informal sessions give presenters a chance to engage attendees in their selected game (off-the-shelf
titles or grassroots designed), providing activities or walk-thru’s related to key questions and ideas chosen by the session host.
