Our 2nd-time Serious Games Conference 2011 (SGC 2011 for short) will take place from 3 – 5 August 2011 this year.
SGC 2011 is supported by MDA (lead agency), IDA, IES, STB and several trade associations including SGI UK (Serious Games Institute, UK), GXA (Games Exchange Alliance) IGDA Asia Chapters (International Game Developers Association), ACM Siggraph and SiTF (Singapore Info-Comm Technology Federation).
 
The event is held concurrently with another event “Defence Science & Research Symposium – on Serious Gaming & Edutainment” www.dsr2011.org
This other event is organised by RealSpace Pte Ltd, a spin-off company from the Mixed Reality Lab @ the National University of Singapore.
MDA has bridged us together as they view good synergy to support both events concurrently to maximize resources to attract a interest from larger set of audiences and hopefully better media coverage.
