GamiFIN is a meeting place where researchers, industry representatives, practitioners, and experts present findings from their latest work regarding gamification, technology, media and digital culture for the future society. The conference is organized by the Gamification Group, a Tampere University research team that brings together a global community of scientists, industry members and officials.

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 the 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.

Accepted papers will be published by CEUR and indexed as full peer-reviewed academic publications. CEUR-WS.org is a free open-access publication service and recognized ISSN publication series, ISSN 1613-0073.
