NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It's literally game on at the CU Water Cooler Symposium.

This year, the 125 attendees gathered at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts were issued a gaming challenge for prizes ranging from Brent Dixon's new album and variety of cool gadgets, to an interactive badge granting access to SXSW.

The top prize? Becoming a CU Water Cooler editor, who in addition to blogging, sharing their daily links of what they're reading, will have the opportunity to speak at the next symposium.

Described at the start as the true interactive game-fication of the conference, attendees were split into randomly selected teams indicated on their badge by colors of red, purple, green, blue or gold.
