Come join us on Friday October 17 through Sunday October 19 for the Year of Games Kick-off Symposium at the University of Chicago.

Three days of game makers, writers, and educators in conversation about games, their past, present, and future, their place on campus, and—most importantly—what we love about them.

Events will kick off with a Videogame Music Carillon Concert presented by Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. Friday and Saturday keynotes will take the form of live tapings of journalist Simon Parkin’s My Perfect Console podcast with guests Alex Seropian and Evan Narcisse (the latter session co-presented by the University of Chicago Humanities Day and the Chicago Humanities Festival). We hope you will join us for this exciting event whether you are already a fan of games or have always wondered what the fuss is all about!
