CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Fun and Games 2010 is a single-track, 2-day conference where academics  
and practitioners can interact together in a playful event that  
marries the best of academic writing with the most innovative user  
experiences.
The conference invites original contributions from designers,  
developers and researchers in computer games, experience design and  
‘fun’. Of particular interest are contributions that cross the  
traditional disciplines of human-computer interaction, games design,  
and game development. It will provide a venue for presenting and  
discussing peer reviewed academic and practitioner papers, posters and  
live demos.
Furthermore, the conference encourages student designers/developers to  
submit their works to the Fun and Games Design Competition. The  
nominees of this competition receive a free pass to the conference and  
winners will be awarded at the conference.

VENUE
The conference will be held at the campus of Social Sciences and the  
Campus of Groep T,  in the heart of Leuven. Leuven nests the oldest  
Catholic university in the world, founded  in 1425 and has been a  
university city ever since. Leuven owes much of its character to the  
numerous university college buildings dating from the 16th and 17th  
centuries. Other fine examples of this flamboyant gothic architecture  
are the main market square, the finely sculpted Town Hall and Saint  
Peter's church with its magnificent interior and the Old Market. The  
Old Market is also known as the longest beer bar in the world, serving  
an abundant amount of fine Belgians beer. Indeed, Leuven is also the  
home of Inbev,  the largest beer brewing company in the world. Today,  
the charming city streets are filled with young faces, the city lives  
at a student's rhythm. Shops, restaurants, cinemas, sports facilities  
and places of historical interest are all close together to mingle in  
a thriving atmosphere.
