The #gamesUR Summit is a prominent annual event for industry professionals interested in games user research and user experience, including but not limited to user testing, game analytics, and user experience (UX) design and processes. In our decade of operations, it has grown from a handful of researchers to a gathering of hundreds of attendees with multiple presentation streams, panels, and workshops showcasing innovative methods, tools, and strategies for leveraging player data and psychology for game design!

The conference is annually attended by professional game developers, user experience researchers and designers, and all who have an interest in Games Research & User Experience (GRUX). The event is proudly presented by the GRUX SIG of the International Game Developers Association.

The #gamesUR Summit annually hosts 200+ professionals at the forefront of player-centric game development. The conference will featurea keynote panel, presentations, and panels at all experience levels, as well as opportunities to virtually socialize.

While the Summit has traditionally been a physical event, the #gamesUR Summit will be entirely online and free to attend in May of 2021. With 2021 marking the 10th anniversary of the Summit, we're excited that the online format will enable us to reach more attendees than ever before.
