Connections North

CONNECTIONS NORTH is a community of practice devoted to the professional use of wargames (and other serious games) for education, training, and policy analysis in Canada. It is open to professional game designers, military and other government personnel, researchers, NGOs, and others associated with professional (war)gaming.

If you would like to join the electronic group, contact Rex Brynen (McGill University/PAXsims), including a few lines describing your background and professional interest.

CONNECTIONS NORTH also hosts an annual conference on professional wargaming, conflict simulation, and serious games.

The next CONNECTIONS NORTH conference will take place in 2025. Details will be posted here when available.
