Subject: Announcing the Serious Games Summit D.C., October 18-19


The number of non-entertainment games under development is rapidly
increasing and demand for the ideas, skills and techniques used in
commercial entertainment games is at an all time high. As a
result, an entirely new market has emerged.

Game developers and tool providers can tap into this new market
and develop new revenue streams.

The Serious Games Summit D.C. gives game developers and program
managers the opportunity to learn from successful serious games
applications and forge links between the traditional videogame
industry and public and private sectors; homeland security, state
and local governments, military agencies, and educational
institutions.
