=================================================
 SBGAMES Conference
=================================================

SBGames is the main event on game research and development
in Latin America. Promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC)
with the support of the Brazilian Electronic Game Development
Companies Association (ABRAGAMES), the symposium brings together
students, professors, artists, designers and professionals from
several universities, research centers and game industry.

This is the seventh edition of SBGames and in its current format,
the symposium is composed by 4 main tracks (Computing, Art & Design,
Industry and Games & Culture), 2 festivals (Independent Games and
Art Exhibition), tutorials, keynote presentations, and some satellite
events such as the Game School and the Microsoft Academic Days on
Game Development in Computer Science Education.

In 2008, the symposium will be held in Belo Horizonte - MG,
from November 10th to 12th. The event will be co-organized by the
Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC Minas) and
the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG).
