Now quietly sneaking out of the plenary to be first in line for coffee. #iclc16 #conferencelife

I feel really good about how my talk, Accessibility Testing 101, went today at CincyDeliver 2023. I need to work a little more on the timing of the talk, but I had great questions and the attendees seemed to be paying great attention. So, I think that means they liked it. #PublicSpeaking #ConferenceLife #Conferences2023 #CincyDeliver

This morning, René Bauer and Beat Suter gave a keynote about “Considerations for Archiving Games. From the Perspective of Game Design”. There are so many things one could archive… 🫣

Our delegation in Seville for DiGRA 2023

A project like Confoederatio Ludens requires that we regularly attend conferences in order to present our results, gather constructive feedback, and keep an eye on what our international colleagues are discovering. This year, the annual conference of the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) – the main research community in game studies – happened in Seville, Spain. We sent 6 delegates to the conference: @SoBemel (UNIL), @pyhurel (UNIL), Mela Kocher (ZHdK), @eugen_pfister (HKB), @yrochat (UNIL) and Larissa Wild (ZHdK). Here is an overview of their week.

Pro tip: never try to launch a new conference and new conference management software at the same time.

I've been at an event where the snacks have included blue cupcakes.

And I'm still wondering what flavor it's supposed to represent. Blue velvet cake?!?

The badges for #BSidesOttawa are pretty cool. (No, I haven’t tried playing it yet. That’s a job for tonight)

Why?

Why do I have the capacity to simply show my presentation with a lightweight tablet and one little HDMI/Usb-C adapter, yet still insist on lugging my 500 lbs steam powered laptop to every conference I present a paper?

never mind the 2-3 extra safety-usb-stick with just-in-case-copies. Or the printed-on-paper-version...
