In the afternoon the fundraisers can get to know each other by speeddating. We give you the opportunity to go into dialogue with some fundraisers you never had the chance to talk to.

Who and what to expect?

• Gamification, what’s boring becomes fun! – David Verbruggen (09u30 – 10u30)
  

Gamification is the use of game-thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts in order to engage users and solve problems. To put it in other words: make boring things fun and non-rewarding behaviour rewarding! Did you know that even our moms already used gamification to make us kids do things we didn’t want to do?

David Verbruggen is a videogames expert with over 20 years of experience in videogames, game development and gamification. His main specialties are project management, business development, sales and content marketing. To get the job done, David relies on his elaborate network of valuable contacts, stretching from international publishers and local developers to government and media.

• Case by Greenpeace: VR trip to the North Pole – François Bulon (11u20 – 11u55)
  

Greenpeace launched a campaign to attract new members with a VR-film about the North Pole. In the VR-film Greenpeace takes the viewers to the heart of the North Pole areas. They can discover what it is like to walk on an ice sea and to discover the gletsjer, but also get to see a mother ice bear with her offspring. François Bulon, coach at Greenpeace Belgium, will explain how the VR-film came about and what the impact was.
