The Karch Gaming Institute is proud to present the 2025 Moody College Video Game and Esports Symposium, a two-day in-person + online exploration of video games, the industries around them, their histories and legacies, convergences with cinema and animation, and much more!
Hosted by the Department of Radio-Television-Film, the symposium will take place in historic CMB Studio 6B, state-of-the-art Alienware Longhorn Esports Arena & Lounge, and virtualized online. Join us for an exhibition of student work, a video game (Smash) tournament with prizes, a lineup of speakers from academia and industry, a special screening of video game shorts, an expo of student games—including the winners of this year's Egads Global Game Jam(!)—presentations from student groups like Longhorn Gaming, surprise visits by friends of UT, and a network mixer and reception. Enjoy snacks and drinks throughout. Game On!
