What is GamiCon?

Monica Cornetti photo with short bio descriptionGamiCon NOLA 2025 is an immersive pre-conference experience that offers:

  • Tools, processes, strategies, and tech for designing learning experiences that promise to increase learner engagement and drive performance — whether in instructor-led, virtual, asynchronous, elearning, or hybrid.
  • Hands-on design workshops — knowing is good, but doing is better!
  • An environment where you can build new skills, fine-tune your existing learning programs, and design new learning content from the ground up using gamification and game-based learning principles.

Who Should Attend

GamiCon NOLA is for learning professionals — whether you're an instructional designer, training manager, elearning developer, facilitator, teacher, or project lead. What makes this year’s event unique is that every speaker once stood exactly where you are — they’ve learned and applied the Sententia codified process for gamification and game-based learning, and now lead award-winning programs recognized by Training magazine, ATD, Brandon Hall, and industry-specific associations.

Ready to level up your skills, gain real-world insights, and connect with peers who have transformed training through gamification? Get to GamiCon NOLA and discover different strategies for learning design and engagement!


What You Will Do

GamiCon NOLA kicks off Saturday evening with an opening jam session and keynote that will link jazz, learning, and creativity.

On Sunday and Monday, you will choose from two tracks:

  • Designing Gamified Learning Using the Sententia Codified Process: Learn how to align gamification with business outcomes, create immersive experiences that increase motivation, craft learning narratives, and design for surprise and delight.
  • BYOD: Bring Your Own Device for Tech Tools in Action: Compare leading gamification platforms, try live demos of AI-driven engagement tools, build a micro-game with your favorite tool, and get feedback on your in-progress game design.
