While the track "Industry, Technology, and Services" will focus on the industries' players, business strategies, technologies and techniques used as well as individual games, the track "Usage and Effects" will have a close look into the question of how and in what contexts certain groups of users use different games as well as what impacts such usages may have on individuals. During the track "Society and Politics", questions regarding possible consequences for society as well as for culture will be dealt with. Moreover, this track will focus on the legal challenges that policy and civil society groups currently face.
These three tracks consist of self-contained sessions, in which specific topics will be target of result-orientated analysis: This is the place where current issues and backgrounds, paths of development and future possibilities will be discussed from different perspectives.
