Call for Lightning Talks and Demos at the PCG Workshop at DiGRA-FDG

This year the Procedural Content Generation Workshop includes a 30 minute session for “lightning talks,” which are three-minute high level overviews of recent research, or of any other topic/question/proposal you might throw at the community.  Any attendee of the workshop is free to give a lightning talk; just sign-up until the workshop morning break. Lightning talks will be held at 12.30-13.00.

We are also adding a 45 minute session for people to demo their work at the “Demos and Cocktails” session for people to demonstrate their research results in a relaxed and informal setting from 17.00-17.45.

Come join us on Monday, August 1, 2016 at 9.30, at the Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee. Dundee, Scotland.
