DIGRA CALL FOR CONFERENCE HOSTS

Digital Games Research Conference

A central goal of the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) is to support international conferences on games, play, and game cultures. The organization of these conferences is done by local committees, who graciously volunteer to prepare and execute the event. So far, fourteen conferences have taken place in this format, with the fifteenth event fully prepared yet cancelled last minute due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are also three future events already planned for 2024, 2025, and 2026.

With this call for conference hosts, we encourage local DiGRA chapters and communities of game scholars to volunteer as conference organizers for DiGRA 2027 and 2028. Proposals for conference hosting in 2029 and beyond are also welcome.

With a slightly increased budged we are aiming at providing travel funding for the same, or higher number of scholars this year.
