Conference Admission: By Invitation Only

In order to generate an energetic and enthusiastic environment for development, we are inviting key individuals from the academic and commercial worlds whose work relates to the fields of interactive performance and interactive narrative. These respected experts will have an opportunity to explore, discuss, and cross-pollinate with other key leaders, and build relationships that may lead to future projects and collaboration.

Price of Admission

Instead of a registration fee, we ask that attendees come prepared to engage in collaborative work and open dialogue. Please bring your questions and theories about interactive performance, as well as your own experience and knowledge in your area of specialization.
