The 2022 program
The 2022 edition of the Serious Play Conference started on June 13 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando and ran in both virtual and live formats. The conference dates were June 13 to 17. It offered a full track of sessions on every major market for serious games and simulations in training or education, plus a track on instructional and game design.
Attendees could pick from more than 100 sessions and build a personal schedule, a feature that was to open around May 1. The speakers came from all parts of the globe and described their work with games or simulations in corporations, classrooms, healthcare institutions, government, the military and other industries, giving tips on how to move game-based education programs ahead.
The speaker call in January 2022 had asked for developers willing to give non-commercial talks on creating or implementing game-based education and training programs. Speakers received free registration, and exhibit tables were available for products.
What is true today
The conference's website at seriousplayconf.com is live, but the 2022 pages are not. The 2022 program, the 2022 speakers page and the speaker submission page all show a page-not-found message. The announcement had pointed readers to the full program and the line-up of speakers on those two pages, and promised a link for building a personal schedule around May 1. The www address of the site did not load in November 2026.
The home page of the bare domain now offers a choice between two regional sites, one for North America and one for Europe, under the headline Choose Your own adventure. The North America site is at seriousplayconf.com/homepage and the Europe site at eu.seriousplayconf.com. The North America page shows an edition at the University of Washington in Seattle on 3 to 5 August; the line that gives the dates names no year. The pages that could be read give no 2022 information, so the 2022 session list is not available from the conference's own site.
