NASAGA 2025 Schedule Preview (Wednesday PM/Thursday AM)
We’re less than a month out from NASAGA 2025, which means it’s time to start previewing the schedule! Here’s your taste of the first night and morning; we’ll be rolling out other parts of the schedule over the next few weeks.
Wednesday, 15 October:
9:00am - 5:00pm: Pre-Conference Workshop: Designing and Facilitating Training Games and Activities - Alex Suchman (Pre-registration required). This session, run by NASAGA’s own Alex Suchman, is a conference add-on for early arrivers. Note that it requires a separate registration from your main conference registration.
5:00pm - 6:30pm: Welcome Reception. If this is your first NASAGA, please plan to attend this reception. It’s a great opportunity to meet other NASAGAns and get a sense of the conference atmosphere.
6:30pm - 8:00am: Dinner on your own. Enjoy the incredible offerings of Oxford, but don’t go too far, because…
8:00pm - 10:30pm: Game Night. Many NASAGAns describe the Game Nights as a highlight of the conference. We will have games available, and feel free to bring your own!
Thursday, 16 October:
8:00am - 9:00am: Breakfast. Yummy treats to fuel you for the day’s adventures!
9:00am - 10:30am: Keynote 1 - Miami Tribe. A presentation by representatives of the Miami tribe who will showcase how games and simulations for learning have been used in the tribe for centuries.
10:30 - 11:00am: Break! Talk, network, share game ideas - your time to engage fellow NASAGANs.
11:00am - 12:30pm: Breakout Session 1. You’ll choose between one of two amazing breakout sessions, where you’ll engage in playful learning presented by world-class facilitators. The sessions are: Quest to join The Order of Brave Thinkers and Making History: Breakups, Bias, and the Construction of Narrative.
12:30pm - 2:00pm: Lunch on your own. You’ll need to decompress a little after a terrific morning. Fortify yourself for the rest of the day!
