Sunday August 10th, to Tuesday August 12th.

The Edinburgh Interactive Festival is now set for mid-August, and will be held this year at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Now in its sixth year, EIF 2008 aims to be more closely synchronized with the wide range of other arts festivals in the Scottish capital during August, usually referred to collectively simply as the Edinburgh Festival. The 2008 event will also attempt to offer more activities for the general public, with chances to play unreleased games and view job opportunities in the industry.

EIF 2008 will feature a two-day conference program and separate networking events. Also present will be Dare ProtoPlay, the public showcase event of video games design competition Dare to be Digital. EIF will also host the Digital Interactive Symposium for academics and games industry professionals on Wednesday August 13th.
