Global Gamification Leader Badgeville Announces Engage Summit 2012 on August 8-9

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Badgeville, The Behavior Platform and global gamification leader, today announced the world's first summit dedicated to educating world-class businesses on how to apply game mechanics, reputation mechanics, and social mechanics to their entire digital ecosystem. On August 8-9 at the W Hotel in San Francisco, Calif., hundreds of business leaders will join Badgeville for two full days of keynotes, panels featuring a diverse group of Badgeville customers, and dynamic how-to workshops with actionable takeaways.

In the fast-changing and increasingly fragmented ecosystem of global business, it is necessary to measure and influence behavior across both employee and customer audiences. At Engage 2012, Badgeville will address this important issue. Learn from analysts, gamification champions, and industry thought leaders to explore how these techniques help increase content generation, engagement, productivity, collaboration, and more.
