11th Annual International GamiFIN Conference 2027

Pyhä, Lapland – Finland.

You are welcome to join us in Pyhä, where you’ll find incredible Finnish Lapland scenery, nature, and winter activities that will help take Gamification research forward. We hope all of our guests take the time to enjoy the surroundings and activities provided by this unique location. Organized winter activities before and/or after the main conference days will be announced later.

GamiFIN is a leading international conference on gamification research, chaired by Professor Juho Hamari and Associate Professor Nannan Xi and Associate Professor Oğuz ‘Oz’ Buruk.

The conference is organized by the Gamification Group, and past keynote speakers have included notable scholars from the field of Gamification, such as Lennart Nacke, Frans Mäyrä, Sebastian Deterding, Richard Landers, and T.L. Taylor.

The GamiFIN conference will provide access to the Gamification Publication Track (http://gamifinconference.com/gamification-track/). The gamification publication track is a one-of-a-kind, “gamified” approach to developing your research paper through the GamiFIN conference, the HICSS Gamification Track, and ultimately toward publication in an associated journal issue. The aim of the gamification publication track is to enhance the predictability and rigor of the peer-review and publication processes by providing a concise review continuum and peer discussion.

This year, GamiFIN also invites the community to contribute to the agenda by proposing interactive workshops on a gamification-research related theme. TWO workshops will be selected and also published in the proceedings. Check out the Call for Papers!
