Why GamiCon

Knowledge is good, but applied learning is better. GamiCon is not your typical conference—it’s a hands-on, fully immersive experience where you don’t just learn about gamification and game-based learning, you practice it in real time.

GamiCon began as an in-person event and evolved to include a virtual experience when the world shifted. Today, we offer the best of both: one high-impact, in-person gathering each fall, and one 48-hour virtual event each spring. Both are designed to meet the needs of learning professionals who want to go beyond theory and into practical, award-winning application.

At GamiCon NOLA 2025, you’ll explore the rhythm of learning in the heart of New Orleans—connecting with experts, testing tools, and engaging in hands-on sessions that bring the Sententia codified process to life. Whether you are new to gamification or refining your mastery, this event is designed to help you level up your skills and expand your network.

This is more than a conference. It’s a curated learning journey that challenges you to think differently, design boldly, and create experiences that resonate.

Testimonials

"I have to tell you that I have absolutely loved the GamiCon event. Amazing organization, very well prepared agenda and meeting pathway. Not to mentioned the speakers which I simply adored.

A lot of very good information which still need to be digested. But the most important is that the metabolization process started as well and results are already visible 😊.

I will definitely join the next online GamiCon with or without regional presence."

"I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you and the team for not only a fabulous conference but a fabulous conference in the middle of a global pandemic!

I think it worked really well! Great sessions! Remo was a great platform and I loved everyone I spoke with at tables!

I mentioned to a few people that I thought the conference had a really special feeling to it. Too many conferences I go to have lots of posturing and chest-bumping and, dare I say, macho-masculine energy to them. "I know more than you do." or "I've been to more conferences than you." or "I've been doing this longer than you." or "Oh, you don't know this obscure term?" Too serious. Too uncollaborative.

I met a lot of really neat people and had some great conversations, so thank you for including me!"

"I am relatively new to the gamification space and was overjoyed with the amount of resources that I received. Upon entering the conference, I was impressed with the digital lay out of the room where I was able to select the table where I wanted to be seated. Once seated, the others within my group freely shared information, tips, tricks and resources that probably would have taken me years to discover. I am grateful to have been included in the experience."

"Thanks again to you and the team for an awesome Conference. I made loads more connections and learnt so much.

Please thank all the speakers, it was so much fun. Well done this was brilliant."

"Thank you for hosting another great Gamicon. I can only imagine the amount of work and effort that goes into it, but you did it again. Respect.

I am always happy to contribute. Looking forward to a live meet in the future, how for or near that will be."

"The GamiCon2020 was an amazing event with so many great speakers! It was nice to have more time in a virtual event than an hour for each topic. The speakers could use that time to give more examples, let participants share and ask questions, and encourage networking.

The quality of the speakers was outstanding and contributed to the learning process. The Sententia Guides helped facilitate discussion giving more people the ability to participate in a virtual environment.

Thanks for a great series of sessions!"

"Gamicon 2020 was a fantastic experience! The virtual platform allowed for a highly interactive conference that promoted collaboration and creativity throughout each of the sessions which was really enjoyable! It was also so incredible to virtually meet people from all over the globe as well. I thought the different perspectives and presentations of the speakers were fascinating. I learned a ton! I'm very much looking forward to Gamicon 2021V!"

"This was the first gamification conference I attended live and it was wonderful! Everything from the way it was organized to the onboarding, the speakers' and the networking that followed the experience was very clear. I was a little sceptical about joining, wondering how I would fit in, but the guild leaders and other attendees were very kind and made me comfortable. The speakers themselves shared a lot of very good information both in the sessions and later in one-on-one interactions. My company and I are now using some of the ideas I learnt in Gamicon to build a better learning and development product. Overall, the conference was fun! I look forward to attending the next edition of Gamicon and would recommend it to anyone in learning and development."
