The following text is lifted right off the conference website:
Interactive entertainment, including novel forms of edutainment and serious games, promises to be a great and important market in the future. By providing access to social and human themes through stories, Interactive Digital Storytelling, which can take various forms, contains opportunities for massively enhancing the possibilities of interactive entertainment, computer games and digital applications. It also provides chances and challenges for redefining the experience of narrative through interactive simulations of computer-generated story worlds.
It’s held in Germany but that shouldn’t stop you from attending the 1st International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling!
