Welcome to Wellington!
The cutest little capital in the world.
DiGRA will be held at the Toi Rauwhārangi campus, Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand. This historic venue features state-of-the-art facilities adjacent to the Pukeahu Memorial Park and gardens, in the heart of Wellington.
Perched on the water’s edge and surrounded by nature, Wellington is a compact, walkable city with a brilliant array of accommodation and conference venues in the central city.
Roots and Routes: Place, Belonging, and Game Worlds
This theme explores how games are shaped by — and in turn shape — the places, histories, and communities that produce them. Roots and Routes speaks to the dual nature of connection and movement: to being grounded in a landscape, culture, or whakapapa, while also tracing the routes that ideas, people, and technologies travel through the world of play.
