The gaming industry is not only one of the world’s most innovative – it’s also a goldmine of insights into human behaviour. From how to capture attention to how to build loyalty.

At Tales from the Tech Hub: The Power of Play, startups, researchers and creators meet to explore how the logic of games can drive development, innovation and change.

We’ll talk about gamification, engagement and “the art of keeping people hooked” – and how the same mechanisms can be used to create value, learning and impact.

Join the conversation on how the gaming world is shaping the future of tech.
