Serious Games Conference
It’s crazy here at ARGFest HQ as we finish pulling together all the bits & pieces of what is, most definitely, going to be an outstanding event! The conference schedule has been finalized and is one heck of a program. Everyone seems to want to know what sessions we’re most looking forward to and, every time, our answers change! It’s that good. Steve Peters is serving as this year’s Grand Inquisitor and, as such, he’ll be helping to keep the sessions moving and making sure that none of the hard questions go unasked.
