Making Media Matter Conference on Feb 7 Eve Features Games For Change

American University's Center for Social Media's annual  Making Your Media Matter conference kicks off on Thursday, February 7 at 5:30 pm in the Katzen Arts Center at American University. The opening panel on Thursday is on games for social change, and features games like World Without Oil, A Force More Powerful, PeaceMaker and ICED! This panel, moderated by Suzanne Seggerman, co-founder of Games for Change, promises an overview of the emerging gaming field and the opportunities available to filmmakers, non-profits and other activists interested in using new media to address social issues, and will give us all a first-hand look at some of the best new social issue games. After the gaming panel, please join us for  reception from 7 - 9, co-sponsored by our friends at See3 Communications.

Friday starts at 9am with the Plight Entertainment panel, and there are panels on media that crosses cultural boundaries, what's new in online platforms and distribution, and what promises to be a phenomenal keynote address by Byron Hurt and Sonya Childress of Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes. You can view the full agenda here.
