Panel: Fund the Fun: Making the Business Case for Gamification
 Even the most innovative learning design won’t gain traction without funding and leadership support. This panel explores the practical challenge of securing buy-in and budget for gamified learning in environments where every dollar is carefully scrutinized.
Panelists will share real-world strategies for positioning gamification as a strategic investment rather than a “nice-to-have.” The discussion will focus on framing value, aligning initiatives with organizational priorities, and translating engagement into outcomes that leaders care about.
Expect candid insights on what works, what doesn’t, and how to confidently advocate for learning experiences that are both engaging and results-driven.
Takeaway: Gamification gets funded when it’s framed as a solution to business problems, not an extra cost.
