Yong Ming Kow will be in NYU to attend the above symposium and conference on June 18-20, 2009.
The Symposium will run on June 18, 2009, immediately before the two days of the main State of Play conference. The basic idea is to have grad students present and discuss their work, and receive commentary and criticism from the graybeards. There will be learned debate, and discussion.
On June 19-20, 2009, New York Law School’s State of Play Conference will convene in New York to examine the past, present and future of virtual worlds. State of Play I was the first conference that examined the significance of virtual worlds and massively multiplayer online spaces. As before, this conference will bring together scholars, games developers, industry leaders, government leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, social scientists and policy–makers to set the agenda for the development and study of virtual worlds.
