Three leading voices in the field of serious games announced today a series of two-day workshops on serious games design, development, and distribution. The Serious Games Tutorial created by Ben Sawyer, Noah Falstein, and Bob Bates is the first training retreat dedicated to serious games design and project development.
Complete details of the effort are available at

.
The Serious Games Tutorials will take place throughout the spring and early summer of 2007 in several different locations around North America:
San Francisco, California on March 28-29, 2007
Orlando, Florida on April 26-27, 2007
Washington, D.C. on May 8-9, 2007
Toronto, Ontario in June (final dates pending)
Chicago, IL (final dates pending)
The two-day tutorial explains in detail how to create and use both games and game-related technologies for purposes beyond entertainment. The program draws heavily on the experience of all three developers, who together have designed, or been involved in the launch of over a dozen serious games.
Admission starts at $445.00 for early bird registrants and rises to $695.00 closer to each individual tutorial. Group discounts for three or more registrants from the same organization are available.
