Closing Ceremonies for Cruel 2 B Kind
  and the London Poetry Game

  - 4 - 5pm
  Location: the Delegates Centre, BFI South Bank Centre

Seminar Discussion:
  Pervasive Games are the new Punk Rock

  - 5pm - 6.30pm
  Location: the Delegates Centre, BFI South Bank Centre
  Exactly one generation ago, a cultural movement started in the US.
  It was built on the ideals of participation and creativity. It generated
  evangelical fervour in its early devotees. Punk went on to become
  an insanely dominant cultural phenomenon. Will pervasive games
  do the same? And what would we want to do differently, given
  the chance?

  Speakers tbc. All welcome No gobbing.
