=== GENERAL INFORMATION
3rd Annual International GamiFIN conference, April 8-10, 2019, Sokos 
Hotel, Levi, Lapland, Finland!

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. This is the first time the event 
will be organised in this winter wonderland and we hope all of our 
guests take the time to enjoy the surroundings and activities provided 
by this unique and exotic location.

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 Sebastian Deterding, Richard 
Landers and T.L. Taylor.

GamiFIN 2019 conference welcomes 1) paper, 2) poster, and 3) doctoral 
consortium paper submissions.

The GamiFIN conference will offer an entry to the Gamification 
Publication Track (http://gamifinconference.com/gamification-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.

=== SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

including the list of references. All submissions will undergo a 
double-blinded peer-review process. Therefore, the authors should remove

- Doctoral consortium: GamiFIN 2019 invites doctoral students 
(irrespective of stage in the program) to apply to the doctoral

the opportunity to develop and discuss their research among other 
students and leading scholars of the area. Any research presented at the 
consortium can also be submitted as a paper/poster in the conference, 
but the consortium will allow the attendees to more extensively develop 
their papers in collaboration with the conference chairs and keynotes,
