When is GameCity happening?

The dates for the 2009 festival - called GameCity Squared,were 27-31 October.

How do I find out what's on?

Go to the GameCity Squared HOMEPAGE, from there you can browse all the events. We'd also recommend looking at the AT-A-GLANCE calendar.

How do I get there and where do I stay?

THIS PAGE will tell you...

How do I get involved?

There are lots of ways you can do this, some of which you might be better thinking of than us. Here's the obvious ways though.... If you're a Developer, we'd LOVE you to come and talk about your work. The starting point for GameCity is that videogames are interesting, compelling and valuable things - if you agree and would like to think of interesting, compelling, entertaining and valuable ways to explore them - then get in touch immediately.

If you're a publisher, we'd REALLY LOVE you to give the public the chance to play your stuff. Tens of Thousands of people are going to be visiting GameCity and we want to make sure they have the best possible experience. In particular, we're committed to finding new and brilliant ways to give people access to videogames. If you're interested in helping us think up ways to get everyone excited - get in touch NOW!

If you're a student, perhaps you'd like to WORK on the festival? This year is going to be bigger than ever and we're going to need lots of help. INTERNSHIPS will also be available in a number of areas and will be announced soon.

Also - maybe you're 'just' someone who's interested in games and has something to say about them? This year we're going to be opening the show out to accommodate a much wider programme. If you know what GameCity is missing, then LET US KNOW!

How do I find out more about the festival?

The history of the festival is going to be here very soon. In the meantime, the flickr pool is a good place to start.

Who runs GameCity?

A very small team of dedicated, charismatic and attractive people. GameCity is a project of Nottingham Trent University, based within the newly established Centre for Contemporary Play. You might have heard of another one of our projects, the National Videogame Archive.
