Title of Session for Program (10 word limit) *

Be as specific about the content as possible. Space in the program is limited. It's more important to be clear than clever.

Session Description: Explain what you want to present. Keep in mind that the focus of Serious Play Conference is the sharing of knowledge and experience. Sessions that educate attendees, broaden their thinking or offer information they can use in their work are the most sought after and popular. (100 - 200 word limit)

NOTE: Serious Play does not accept submissions focused on promoting a single game or a company's services. We are interested in speakers with broad knowledge of their topic who will share their successes and failures. Talk about the challenges your area of expertise faces. You may give examples from your company to explain what you set out to do and how you overcame various problems. NOT A SALES PITCH! Attendees are looking for practical advice and lessons learned.

Attendee Benefits: What will your audience learn from attending your presentation? TakeAways and Handouts. Attendees want to get takeaways, things they can implement/use. If you plan to provide hand-outs, let us know here. Try to provide something actionable (100 - 200 word limit).

Workshop sessions should engage attendees, let them participate actively in game-based learning. If you are planning a workshop, what will you do to make your presentation interactive? (100 - 200 word limit)

Panels. If you will have panelists that are not also speakers, we ask they (or you) cover the cost of coffee, meals and admin time for badges, check in, or $100.
