After an exhaustive search, the Serious Play Conference has announced it has found a new Executive Director. Paul Darvasi will be taking on the role.

Darvasi has been one of the most popular speakers for years, contributing in the K-12, Higher Ed, and Instructional Design Tracks. He’s a passionate believer in game-based learning and understands the vibe of Serious Play. He has personally benefited from his exposure at the conference and has built a network with others who also believe in enhancing education and training across all industries.

Paul plans to build a network of industry veterans to advise and help. A goal is to move the conference around to multiple institutions over the years, allowing more drive-up attendees in different markets.

Paul and his team will host the 2024 conference at the University of Toronto on August 12 – 14.
