The first annual Serious Games Canada symposium will be held in Montreal in conjunction with the Montreal International Games Summit in November, 2007. Concurrently, there will be a workshop designed to organize a national group, Serious Games Canada, for the promotion of serious game development and research in Canada.

It is our hope, and that of the sponsors, that the Serious Games Canada Symposium will become a fixture in the international scene, and that more specialized subgroups will be spawned and will organize themed national and local events.

Papers are being reviewed now. If you wish to participate in some way (paper, demo, talk) please let us know very soon.

To register, click on the registration box above - All attendees of teh Montreal International Game Summit are welcome to attend this year, and all we ask is that you check on the Serious Games box when registering for MIGS. This means that you can attend all summit and symposium events for the same price.

Companies wanting to exhibit will be given space in the MIGS Expo space, together with the other serious game exhibitors.
