iGGi Con 2023

When: Wednesday, September 13, 2023 - Thursday, September 14, 2023, 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Where: Graduate Centre, Mile End campus

The conference provides a space for industry and academia to come together to discuss the latest and greatest in games research. 

On September 13-14, 2023, Queen Mary University of London will host the annual iGGi Con, organised by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Intelligent Games and Game Intelligence (iGGi). The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for the games industry and the wider public to connect with researchers presenting their innovative work and findings. Registration for the conference is now open, and early registration is recommended as places are limited.


The iGGi Con is a unique platform for the games industry to meet researchers who are undergoing training to become experts in key areas of game development, including game AI and games user research. Many of these researchers are interested in pursuing careers in the games industry post-PhD and looking for new collaborations, and the conference presents the perfect platform for valuable connections to be made. 

The conference stretches over two days, and attendees are welcome to attend the full event or just a single day. The programme includes: 

  • talks on AI design tools, serious games, machine learning, and narrative design; 
  • workshops on as green games, procedural audio, Dungeon Master, and failure in games play; 
  • two panels – one on engaging the next generation, and one presenting iGGi Researchers’ Knowledge Exchange projects; 
  • keynotes by games researchers Vanessa Volz from modl.ai, Aleena Chia from Goldsmiths, and iGGi Alumnus Joe Cutting from the University of York; 
  • poster and game demo sessions presenting recent and current projects of iGGi Researchers and “friends of iGGi”. 

In parallel with the talks track, the conference will also feature an Industry Meet & Greet “Mini Expo” on Thursday, September 14, where iGGi industry partners/members of the games industry are invited to host a stand and network with the conference attendees and the wider community of Queen Mary students and staff.
