The Digital Games and Research Association (DiGRA) conference 2009 will feature the theme "Breaking New Ground: Innovation in Games, Play, Practice and Theory."

The Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) is an organisation that embraces all aspects of game studies, and the conference aims to provide a diverse platform for discussion and a lively forum for debate. We therefore welcome papers from any discipline focused on any aspect of games, play, game culture and industry. The conference will be the fourth DiGRA conference, following Utrecht, Vancouver and Tokyo, and welcomes contributions from scholars working in any area of interest to the association. The official business of the Subject Association will also be conducted at the conference.

More information the conference, which will be held at the Newport School of Art, Media and Design in Uxbridge / London, can be found at the DiGRA conference website.
