The Games and Media Event is an annual day of talks by members of academia and the media industries on the challenges and rewards of working on problems in the entertainment industries. The day is composed of a number of talks about a wide variety of subjects, covering technical topics from project management to artificial intelligence; from software optimisation to tweaking the look of a polar bear's fur.

In the past few years, GaME has fostered links between major businesses in the industry and research groups on the cutting edge of their fields, and the event continues to bring the two sides to work together.

We extend our sincere thanks to all our speakers, as well as the organising committee at Imperial College: Amy Allinson, Will Heaven, Mike Cook and Professor Paul Kelly
