Future Play 2007, which takes place November 15-17, 2007 at the Novotel Toronto Centre in Toronto, Ontario, has announced a Career Day for students and recent graduates to connect with recruiters from the North American game industry. The Future Play conference focuses on three main themes. The first theme, future game development, addresses academic research and emerging industry trends in the area of game technology and game design. The second theme, future game impacts and applications, includes academic research and emerging industry trends focused on designing games for learning, for gender, for serious purposes, and to impact society. Finally, the third theme, future game talent, is designed to provide a number of industry and academic perspectives on the knowledge, skills, and attitude it takes to excel in the games industry. Student registration for a one-day Career Day pass, valid on Friday, November 16, includes access to workshops and panel presentations as well as the expo area for company recruiting.
