On GamificationCo, we’ve noticed that some of our most popular posts have been about the gamification of education or teaching. Teachers are among the most intrinsically motivated by engaging others and it’s amazing to see them find new ways to engage others.
They need to be recognized!
The gamification of marketing is an undoubtedly powerful tool at our disposal and it’s definitely needed now more than ever, according to a recent study. But how can the average organization employ some of these tactics and most importantly, how will anyone know that marketing gamification even works? Luckily, you won’t have to reinvent the test-drive or make people dance in front of a vending machine to find out.
GSummit SF 2013 will have many great sessions dedicated to marketing gamification and here are my top talks you won’t want to miss.
The moment a discussion about gamification dips into a deep discussion about game mechanics and what constitutes proper design, it seems inevitable that Jesse Schell’s book, The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses becomes mentioned as the official reference to prove someone’s point. Jesse’s long history of working as a game-designer has earned him numerous accolades and his position as the CEO of Pittsburgh’s largest videogame studio.
If you’ve never attended one of our gsummitX meetups before, now’s your chance to experience some of the great speakers we sign up for our events. Watch the video below to hear some great sessions from our last gsummitX meetup at Tel-Aviv this past December. Some of these sessions include, talks on marketing gamification, the IDF Blog’s gamification story, and the brains behind Freshbiz, the Entrepreneurship Game, that we covered this past summer.
Using gamification in HR to engage with employees is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern enterprise, especially when it comes to training – see Deloitte’s Leadership Academy, for example. The speakers at GSummit 2013 recognize the power of games in this context and there’s a strong number of sessions devoted to this topic.
