John has a history that includes “blowing things up!” But that was mostly to do with the design and development of military simulations for the training and experiential learning for defence, government sectors, and medical and emergency services.
John Welsh is the owner and CEO of the serious games consultancy. Based in Adelaide, South Australia, the breadth of his experience ranges from project and program management, the provision of Live, Virtual and Constructive simulation solutions for a variety of industries, video game production, and developmental training. Passionate about experiential learning he has been instrumental in defining serious game solutions nationally and internationally, spearheading serious game initiatives and providing consultancy, subject matter expertise, guidance and turnkey solutions.
A regular speaker on serious game capabilities John’s previous presentations have supported Games Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP), The Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC), The Serious Games Institute, Xmedia Labs Beijing, and Asia Pacific’s primary regional simulation industry event SimTecT. An extensive international traveller, John also spent time operating a marina and water sports business in Jamaica, where he was born. John is a very mediocre video games player (but he thinks he’s getting better).
