Discover the Final Chapter: Axiom Awakens
GamiCon48V | 2026 Theme Reveal
Long before our heroine Elara cracked the code of the Da Vinci Principles, and even before the skyship exploits of Nevan Evanstone, there was Axiom, an ancient construct built to preserve the world’s lost knowledge.
Created in the secret city of Solmara, Axiom was more than machine. He was memory, meaning, and emotion encoded in metal. But when Solmara vanished in a cataclysm, Axiom vanished with it—buried in time, his purpose forgotten.
Until now.
In 2026, we journey into the final chapter of this Steampunk, Time Travel GamiCon Trilogy. As Axiom awakens, what knowledge will he reveal? What decisions will you face? And what role will you play in the future of AI, learning, memory, and machine?
With a focus on Outcome-Driven Learning Design, every session is LIVE and meticulously crafted to identify clear goals, define actionable steps, integrate meaningful practice activities, and deliver the essential information needed to drive real-world results.
Whether you’re an instructional designer, training manager, CLO, or L&D professional, GamiCon48V will empower you with actionable insights and proven strategies that go beyond theory and spark measurable change. All sessions will be recorded.
Expect LIVE interactive sessions and hands-on design labs that prioritize behavior change, learner engagement, and organizational outcomes—our speakers will guide you in creating training programs that truly deliver on their promises.Â
