The Serious Play Conference, founded in 2009, is a leadership conference for professionals who embrace the idea that games can revolutionize learning. Speakers, who come from all parts of the globe, share their experience creating or using games in the corporation, classroom, healthcare institution, government and military and offer tips on how to move game-based education programs ahead. At Serious Play, attendees listen, share and participate actively in informal sessions dedicated to the discussion of the future of serious games. Serious Play has been hosted by DigiPen, the University of Southern California, Carnegie Mellon, University of North Carolina, George Mason University, University at Buffalo, University of Quebec at Montreal and University of Central Florida.
