The second annual Brunel Digital Games Postgraduate Conference shares a theme with the name of the new game design and studies course: "Theory and Design". Postgraduates from all fields and locations are encouraged to submit papers detailing work and work-in-progress to their peers and more experienced games researchers. Last year's conference was a great sucess and we hope to repeat the achievement this year with similar high quality submissions from a wide variety of fields sharing a focus on Digital Games. We are seeking two keynote speakers, an industry figure and a game studies academic. We also hope to stream the conference into our Second Life island, 'Isambard Kingdom'.

Student registration will be priced at £50.

Non-Student Registration will be priced at £80.
