Let us play – Gamification, Storytelling and Faith
9-12 June 2015
Gamification as a tool for storytelling and contributing to the community as part of our history and the game industry.
It will be an opportunity to learn, bounce ideas, meet potential cooperation partners, and spend time with peers from across Europe that will give you inspiration and motivation for the whole year!
