The Game Education Summit USA(GES) hosted by the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, Interactive Media Division (IMD) is seeking paper proposals from the academic, creative and industrial communities for GES.

Through this annual event we aim to disseminate the most recent, groundbreaking work on games as education as well as game research. The conference will also have a strong focus on curriculum development and design.

The 2010 GES USA mission is to bring academia and the industries that create video games together to share research and foster relationships that will benefit both groups.

Submissions will be accepted until February 25, 2010.
