The International Conference on Computer Games: AI, Animation, Mobile, Educational & Serious Games organised by The University of Wolverhampton, England, is one of the leading research conferences devoted to the advancement of the theory and practice of games development. It brings together an international community of experts to discuss the state of the art, new research results, perspectives of future developments and innovative applications relevant to games development and related areas. The most recent conference, CGAMES08 was held at the Dublin Institute of Technology in Ireland and attracted more than 100 participants.

We are delighted to announce that the 12th Conference will take place in the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The hotel is located on the waterfront. It offers magnificent views of the Ohio River and is within walking distance of many attractions in downtown Louisville. Louisville is located on the Ohio River and is known for its great park system developed by Olmstead who planned Central Park in New York. It is also noted as the home of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. There is a statue of King Louis XVI in front of our court house, for whom the city was originally named. Kentucky is also one of the most scenic states in the United States, with its rolling hills, horse farms, large cave system, forests and other historic attractions. Louisville also has  access across the river to the beauties of Southern Indiana.

The conference is sponsored by the Society for Computer Simulation (SCS), the Institute Electrical Engineers (IEE), the British Computer Society (BCS), the Digital Games Research Association (DIGRA) and The International Journal of Intelligent Games and Simulation. On behalf of our conference sponsors and the conference organising committee, we hope that you will plan to join us in Louisville in July 2008.
