Submit a Session – CLOSED

Submissions are now CLOSED – Monday 16th Jan 2023

Our ethos is to break the traditional conference mould, and programme a range of different types of talks and activities, from new research and theoretical explorations through to playtests and creative workshops. In turn, this means we are open to everyone who has something to say, present, create or think about – regardless of background or experience. We are looking for submissions in all areas relating to the use of play or playfulness in relation to adult learning, including – but not limited to – higher and further education, playful workplaces, and lifelong learning.

We are a conference that aims to be inclusive. If your session is accepted, we will support you to build in any flexibility that might make your session more sustainable and inclusive.
