GENERATION GAME

The aim of the interactive conference is to make the diversity, scope and potential of games directly available.

Games are developing into main medium and game mechanisms are penetrating all areas of society, be it the economy, politics, urban space and education. From interactive traffic lights to computer games in the theatre and the »gamification« of companies, in recruiting, in development and in project management. More and more applications and processes are being designed using game elements and the experience of game designers. Generation Y is not being followed by Generation Z – instead, “Generation Game” is emerging. To get a feeling for this generation, the conference is focusing on the great diversity – which goes beyond digital games and gamification.
