BigDoor has arrived at Gamification Summit 2012! For those of you who haven’t heard of Gamification Summit, it’s an event that brings together gamification, loyalty and behavioral engineering experts to talk and share information and ideas. The conference kicked off today with two workshops where attendees could earn a certificate in Gamification Design.  You can check out more details about the workshops and the conference at www.gsummit.com.

Tomorrow, the conference will launch into full swing with a variety of speakers whose expertise ranges from game design to social media marketing. Our Business Development team is hanging out at the BigDoor booth waiting to answer questions, talk gamification and hand out some pretty cool stuff (including some awesome marshmallow guns to a few lucky winners). If you are at the conference, be sure to swing by and say hi.

On Thursday, our CEO Keith Smith will be delivering a talk entitled “Internet Infidelity: Using Gamification to Cure Online Promiscuity“. He will take a look at the ever growing problem of retaining quality online users. He will also discuss the gamification industry and provide best practices and advice for how gamification can help online publishers to create loyal and repeat visitors. He will be speaking in Room B at 2:25pm 6/21.

Chamillionaire will be also be attending Gamification Summit to discuss his “Direct to Fan Engagement” program. Chamillionaire’s Chamillitary social network has significantly improved fan engagement on his website. He will talk about the needs of artists to connect with fans as well as how he chose BigDoor as a gamification provider. You can catch his talk 6/21 at 10:25am on the main stage.
