Registration is now open for the 2009 Games for Health Conference, being held this year in Boston on June 11-12. For the fifth time in history, this conference will bring together the best minds in the health and game development fields to discuss how the use of interactive video games can advance health and health care. Initial response numbers suggest that this conference will be the largest-ever sponsored by Games for Health – which reflects the recent booming growth of the health games industry. The event is set to include:

• More than 40 planned sessions, covering a variety of health game topics
• 2 special pre-conference sessions: Games Accessibility Day and Virtual Worlds & Health Day
• Exhibition areas with demonstrations of the newest and most innovative health games
• Networking opportunities

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer Portfolio is the premier sponsor for the conference, with significant sponsorship support also provided by Humana, and further funding by Virtual Heroes, Inc.. Having grown immensely since its inception, the 2009 conference is sure to be the best yet.
