Jennifer McNamara, Breakaway Games, and SGS&C director, said, “Our showcase this year once again highlights novel game and XR-based learning approaches that wouldn’t normally be seen within the standard I/ITSEC community. We believe that some of our finalists offer innovation beyond what established companies might showcase and that brings new potential for training systems of tomorrow.”
The Serious Games Showcase & Challenge (SGS&C) recognizes excellence in the field of Serious Games development. Since 2006, SGS&C has helped foster creativity and innovation in Serious Games as part of NTSA’s I/ITSEC conference held each year in Orlando, Florida. An esteemed panel of evaluators from around the globe review the finalists and select all the winners, except for the People’s Choice award, which is voted on by I/ITSEC attendees.
