And it’s a wrap! Thank you to all who have attended our 2023 edition.
In 2023, the Games and Learning Alliance Conference (GALA) was hosted in Dublin, Ireland, in collaboration with the Technological University Dublin (Faculty of Computer Science and Digital Media). So far, the 2023 conference had:
- 36 paper presentations
- 14 posters
- 15 games were presented at the game exhibition
- 90 registered attendees
For the first time, there was a workshop, entitled “Introduction to Godot for academics and researchers” conducted by Dr. Bryan Duggan.
We had 3 keynotes:
- Prof. Alf Wang, inventor of Kahoot!, spoke about the evaluation of serious games for formal education
- Brenda Romero, legendary game designer and BAFTA-winner, presenting a talk entitled “The expressive power of video games”
- Prof. Luca Chittaro, head of the HCI Lab at University of Udine, Italy, who talked about immersive games for training in dangerous and hazardous situations. His talk was “Creating successful serious games for safety: a behind-the-scenes account of how we appealed to millions of players”
