Organizer/game consultancy firm Pixel-Lab will hold Playful, its cross disciplinary conference about "games and play – in all their manifestations", at London's Conway Hall on September 24th.

Running since 2005 (and previously known as "Sense Of Play"), the conference examines games from traditional consoles/PCs, as well as interactive experiences found in film, television, theater, installations, performance arts, and more.

Pixel-Lab explains Playful's goals and audience:

"It’s a conference for architects, artists, designers, developers, geeks, gurus, gamers, tinkerers, thinkerers, bloggers, joggers, and philosophers.

We look at what PLAY means both creatively and culturally, and put speakers on the stage who offer different perspectives on where we are currently, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.

We want people walking away talking about the nature of games…what they mean to different people inside, on the periphery, outside or miles away from the industry."

Playful's scheduled speakers includes TT Games (Lego Star Wars) development director Jonathan Smith, nine-year-old gamer Beatrice Davy-Sutherland (as she "quizs [sic] MMP Games Companies on their ethics"), indie artist/game designer Richard Hogg (Poto & Cabenga), and many others.
