Like every year, Serious Game Expo is the meeting place that brings together developers and decision makers who are working on serious game projects. The year 2010 already offered a series of excellent sessions, now I'm looking forward to see further improvements at the 2011 edition!
GNFA
The Interest that people showed for GNFA at Serious Games Expo 2010 in Lyon is a demonstration of how the presence of a specialized operator to this kind of event is legitimate and appropriate. In fact that was the right occasion:
- To affirm our will to be a major player in the world of distance learning and in particular of serious games
- To provide our customers a demonstration of our offer extent by gathering in one place so many business experts, serious game project managers and educators
And we definitely want to surprise them again in 2011...

Vocational training is about achieving competencies that enable students to obtain proficiency to work on certain professions (carpenters, plumbers, etc.). Serious games and simulators are a very powerful tool in every kind of studies, but they are specially interesting in this area because practical aspects are even more important than theoretical ones. In the conference, we will introduce some of the serious games and simulators we have created for the Spanish Ministries of Education and Industry within this field.
