Serious Games Summit in San Francisco

It is one of five summits that take place during the Game Developers Conference (GDC), an annual event dedicated to the art, science, and business of games. The Serious Games Summit GDC spotlights the rapidly growing serious games industry that features the use of interactive games technology within non-entertainment sectors.

The GDC is produced by the CMP Game Group, a division of CMP Technology.
This year's Game Developers Conference will feature five focused summits to foster and facilitate community building within emerging influential sectors of the game industry. These two-day and one-day single-track summits will run on the Monday and Tuesday of the GDC.
