He's right down the road, maybe we should try and get a meeting as a group.

Under Armour has spent much time in recent years developing a complementary offering to its traditional sportswear. In recent years, it has acquired multiple companies that have propelled it to be a digital health and fitness leader. Under Armour CTO Paul Fipps provides his vision of the future.

Since the very beginning of my career, giving back to the world has always been very important to me. Millions of people live without access to safe, clean water, and we have the power to make a difference and build sustainable communities around the world.

When One Drop approached me to be part of their "10 Waves" initiative, I right away accepted to collaborate. One Drop’s safe water access projects around the world and their sustainable approach are truly inspiring. They have put together a great recipe for success and for ensuring the long-term impact of their projects, which will soon reach 1 million beneficiaries around the world. And while supporting their cause, this collaboration is also allowing me to raise funds and awareness for the Rafa Nadal Foundation which I founded in 2008 to help disadvantaged children in their personal development and social integration through sports. So this was a great opportunity to join forces and help make the world a better place.

I hope you will help me bring safe drinking water to children around the world by donating as little as $10 to this amazing campaign. As a token of my appreciation for donating, I will bring one lucky winner + a friend to be my guests at the Grand Slam Tournament in Paris this summer! Don’t worry about how you’ll get to France - I’ll cover your hotel and round trip airfare as well! Let’s make a REAL difference together - donate, TODAY ==> http://bit.ly/2HAj0jS

The Games for Health Project will not be having a stand alone conference in 2016. We have decided to team with the Games for Change Festival and Serious Play to offer opportunities to showcase the field of Games for Health. Speaking, exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities are still available. Both are great events and we are proud to support their efforts to promote our community.

Games for Change Festival
Games for Change proudly announces the Neuroscience & Health Track at the 13th annual Games for Change Festival in NYC on June 23-24. As the leading advocate for the use of games as drivers of social impact, G4C recognize's the importance and opportunity that games can bring to all sectors of social innovation and the Health sector is particularly relevant. We would like to bring the Health community to the Festival to help celebrate the advances happening in this field as well as foster collaborations that could lead to further impact.

Through keynotes, panels, mini talks and workshops, the 800+ cross-sector attendees of the Festival will meet experts, network with one another, share and explore groundbreaking ideas, and interact with new impact games.

The Health & Neurogaming track will explore the growing field of games for health. Recent advancements in science and technology have enabled innovative collaborations between researchers and game makers to produce games for impact with remarkably measurable outcomes. This track will explore interactive experiences that aim to improve our brains and bodies, with focus on biofeedback interfaces, cognitive skills, disability assistance, augmenting physical capacity, fitness, and much more. Speakers include Adam Gazzaley, a lead researcher and neuroscientist with two video games in FDA clinical trials, Mike Ambinder, Experimental Psychologist at Valve Corporation, Robin Arnott, Developer of SoundSelf, Adrian Hon, CEO of SixStart and creator of Zombie Run!

We welcome new partners to the Festival and look forward to discussing possible sponsorships and participation.
