Pete's story
Pete has been a successful entrepreneur for over 20 years. Originally a CRM systems supplier, he quickly realised that the tools he provided were not being used effectively. Enter gamification for CRM systems and Kevin Werbach's online gamification course. In 2013 the business model was revamped and Gamification+ now focuses on bringing the power of gamification to business.
Pete has taken a diverse approach when bringing his knowledge about gamification to the world. He has given talks at conferences; delivered both off-the-shelf and bespoke gamification solutions; he has delivered training and workshops; researched and presented thought leadership in gamification; taught and guest lectured at universities (Brighton, King's College London and ESCP Europe) and has participated in many discussion panels in events all over the world. He has been on the Professor Game podcast multiple times and has also had guest appearances on many other podcasts. He was the guest on a 1 hour long live television talk-show (with live call-in questions) in 2017.
Pete launched the, now globally renowned, conference Gamification Europe in 2017. The first event in Brighton UK was a great success and its 2018 Amsterdam edition boasted attendees from 35 countries. Since then it has happened in Berlin and online (of course) during COVID. Gamification Europe's aim is to spread best practices and knowledge around the gamification community.
