Pete Jenkins speaks on Gamification at American Express First Thursday event

0 Comments

American Express Technology run a monthly speaker event (called ‘First Thursday’) for staff at Amex where they invite someone from the external tech community to talk to them about something new and exciting in the world of technology.

Our founder Pete Jenkins was asked to speak at their September 2014 event on the topic of Gamification. There was a good turn out of around 40 people from Amex (and a couple from Nixon McInnes) and a lot of interest in how to apply the techniques of gamification to all sorts of internal and external processes and technologies.

We’re looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
