The Gamification Summit 2011

What is Gamification? 

Using game-like mechanics and systems to increase fun and engagement is a relatively new and expansive topic, subject to much debate and dialogue. Without a doubt: If “engagement” is the super metric of the next decade, then “gamification” is its elixir. What do we mean by gamification?

To mark this first-ever conference on an emerging field that will touch just about every business and social sector, we are pleased to exclusively unveil the first-ever research around codifying the size and growth potential for gamified goods, services and brands.
