The largest Gaming Event in NYC is back with Morgan Spurlock, Nicholas Kristof and more scheduled to speak at this year's Game for Change Festival, part of the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
As part of the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, the 12th Annual Games for Change Festival will take place from April 21-23, 2015. at the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts. This year's program includes a free day of interactive games during the TFF Family Festival Street Fair as well as keynotes from award-winning documentarian Morgan Spurlock, Pulitzer Prize -Winning authors Nicholas Kristof and Angry Birds creators The Rovio Team.
Games for Change, a non-profit dedicated to enacting social reform via digital gaming, hosts the festival every year to connect today's brightest thinkers with the industry's most prominent game creators.
