Creative industry has been a continuous growing economic sector in the world. The videogame industry alone is larger than the film and music industries together. Innovation, led by industry and academia, has been a powerful engine for constantly offering better experiences to the users, in both the entertainment and the corporate worlds.

The IEEE Games, Multimedia, Animation and Multiple Realities Conference - IEEE GMAX opens a space for researchers, government and private sector to discuss about the challenges related to research and commercial advances in the creative industries related to videogames, multimedia, animation and multiple realities, which has a great potential for impacting society and local industry in a positive way by creating no only games but interactive solutions for education, training, health treatments, politics, art, among other applications.

Barranquilla, young city and modern since its foundation, has been the main development pole for the Caribbean region of Colombia, and it is open to adopt and design digital interactive solutions for the future cities in Latin America, the Caribbean and developing countries all around the world. 

Keynote Speakers

We are glad to announce the distinguished keynote speakers that will be with us at the event: 

 

Michael Zyda

Founding Director of USC's Computer Science Games Program, and a Professor of Engineering Practice in the USC Department of Computer Science. At USC, he founded the Computer Science Games Program and the year-long advanced game projects course that forms the core of USC Games and took that program from no program to the #1 Games program in the world. That program has been rated #1 by the Princeton Review for nine of the last ten years. His alumns have shipped games played by over 5 billion players, about $250B in revenue and $2.5B in payroll to those alums.

 

Ashley ML Brown

Assistant professor of Entertainment Arts and Engineering at the University of Utah. She teaches Games User Research, Game Design and supervises student projects. She is also a research fellow at the Therapeutic Games and Applications Lab. She is the fundraising lead for the Games User Research Summit. Recently, she was appointed to the Global Game Jam executive board. She completed her PhD at the University of Manchester in sociology in autumn 2013 before going on to teach and win awards at Brunel University London. She is the author of the book Sexuality in Role-Playing Games and helped edit The Dark Side of Game Play.

 

Ricardo Corral-Corral

Ricardo is an applied mathematician and Biochemistry Ph.D. formerly Founder of Analitica Predictiva and VP of Engineering at Silicon Valley based company Suggestic Inc. where he is co-inventor of three US patents around AR, deep learning, and blockchain applications for health. His academic research is on structural computational biology, where he proposed the first protein structural representation aimed for machine learning, and which usage has lead to SOTA results in protein similarity and protien-protein interaction discovery. He actually serves as AI Architect for NY based Billioneurons VC Fund investment platform Coraline.

More keynote speakers will be announced very soon!
