Welcome to the gathering of international gamification research community in the Finnish Lapland, Levi. Levi is a ski resort located in Finnish Lapland, above the Arctic Circle and features incredible Finnish scenery, nature and winter activities. We hope all of our guests take the time to enjoy the surroundings and activities provided by this unique and exotic location. Organized winter activities before and/or after the main conference days will be announced later.

GamiFIN is a leading international conference for gamification research. The conference is chaired by the professor of gamification Juho Hamari and gamification scholar Jonna Koivisto. The conference is organized by the Gamification Group and past keynotes have included notable scholars from the field of Gamification such as Lennart Nacke, Frans Mäyrä, Sebastian Deterding, Richard Landers and T.L. Taylor. Keynotes of GamiFIN  2020 will be announced later.

GamiFIN  2020 conference welcomes 1) paper, 2) poster, and 3) doctoral consortium paper submissions. The GamiFIN conference will offer an entry to the Gamification Publication Track. The gamification publication track is a one of a kind, “gamified” way to develop your research paper through GamiFIN conference, HICSS Gamification Track and toward the eventual publication in an associated journal issue. The aim of the gamification publication track is to increase the predictability and rigorousness of the peer-review and publication processes by providing a concise review continuum and discussion with peers.
