The GamiFIN conference is an annual academic conference, which focuses on the development, implementation and dissemination of gamification research. The conference brings together an international group of academics and aims to attribute to the overall development of gamification as a process and a tool. The 4th Annual International GamiFIN conference will be supported and hosted by the Gamification Group, Tampere University, University of Turku and University Consortium of Pori (UCPori).

GamiFIN 2020 conference welcomes paper, poster, and doctoral consortium paper submissions. Accepted papers will be sent for consideration for publication in CEUR Workshop Proceedings in the GamiFIN Conference volume (ISSN publication series, ISSN 1613-0073). GamiFIN Proceedings are free, open-access and classified as JUFO-1 in the Finnish Publication Forum Rating. Moreover, the publisher of the proceedings does not retain copyright, and therefore does not limit the publication of the extended version of the accepted GamiFIN paper. Accepted papers have the possibility to fast-track their papers to to AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction | Electronic Markets | Internet Research! 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.
