Gaming GrindrGamification continues to be a hot topic in marketing, education and politics, but there are many areas around the topic that have yet to be explored and discussed.

The intersections between gaming and sexuality, identity and geography are increasingly becoming apparent, especially with the rise of the popular "crusing app" Grindr.

Game designer, journalist, and organizer Jaime Woo has started work on a book (using crowd funding) about what Grindr means for gaming and what gaming means for Grindr.

Join us for a discussion with Jaime about his book, his experiences and where we see gaming going in the months ahead.
