    Hi Matthew K. Gold (he/him),

    wrote a new blog post CUNY Games Conference: Abstract Submission Extended

    Join us for the 11th annual CUNY Games Conference January 23 online.*
    Abstract submission has been extended to Dec 31st.*

    The CUNY Games Network of the City University of New York is excited to
    announce The CUNY Games Conference 11.0, to be held online January 23 and
    in-person January 24 at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New
    York City.

    The CUNY Games Conference combines workshops, idea exchanges, interactive
    participant presentations, playtesting, and playing tabletop games into a
    two-day hybrid event to promote and discuss game-based learning. The
    conference focuses on creative pedagogy, such as playful learning
    activities or games, that teachers can use in the classroom every day. Day
    1 will be online and feature interactive presentations by attendees,
    informal idea exchange sessions, and workshops by the conference
    organizers. Day 2 will be in-person in NYC and feature select presentations
    and workshops, poster sessions, playtesting and game modding, and casual
    play of tabletop games.

    We are calling all researchers, teachers, and graduate students who play or
    design games/playful interactive activities for your classes to participate
    or present! Our network emphasizes higher education, but those in the K-12
    are encouraged to participate. Both CUNY and non-CUNY participation is
    welcome. No commercial solicitation will be allowed.

    *Submit an Abstract*

    For Day 1 online, we desire presentations on the theory and practice of
    play and games (non-digital and digital), including game-based classroom
    activities for learning. All presentations will be 15 minutes and must have
    an interactive component that ideally demonstrates the core mechanic of
    your game/activity or those you researched. You can view samples of
    accepted conference presentations here: https://tinyurl.com/mvk48vm3

    For Day 2 in-person, we are looking for demonstrations of learning games
    you developed, playtesting of games in development, or poster presentations
    of your work. If desired, Day 1 presenters can also bring any of their
    learning games on Day 2 for demonstration and testing. We may be able to
    accommodate online game presentations on Day 2 via Zoom, but the platform
    has yet to be decided. If there is enough momentum for a Day 2 online
    session, it may run concurrently with the in-person session.

    Your proposal must include: session format; contact information for the
    corresponding presenter; name, affiliation, and email address for each
    additional presenter; title, 400-word abstract (including a 100-word
    description on how the presentation will be interactive); and special
    requests (e.g., equipment requirements for Day 2). Please proofread and
    edit your proposal before submission. Accepted proposals will be published
    in our conference proceedings. For more information, visit us at
