Dear all,

As a subscriber and accessible games is a key aspect of my research - I wonder if IGDA Games Accessibility SIG would be interested in a special track at this years international conference hosted in Crete titled “6th EAI International Conference: ArtsIT, Interactivity & Game Creation” - see http://artsit.org/2017/show/home
I am steering person and can with the local chair and EAI team, create such a specific track that one of your SIG can then lead, disseminate and run at the event under the local organisation and EAI. EAI is the European Alliance for Innovation - and associated they realise journals for Serious Games<http://eai.eu/transaction/serious-games> and Creative Technologies<http://eai.eu/transaction/creative-technologies>.
The event realises a Springer book proceedings that gives impact factor points for academics (depending on your national system of university credit). We are also active in - index factor/impact points - journal publications from the event.

You are welcome to discus this and get back to me and/or local chair/organiser Professor Vidakis (in CC) .

Regards
Tony
