What we're about

#Play14 is an international gathering of like-minded people who share the common idea that playing is the best way to learn and understand.

For two and a half days, people with very different profiles and experiences are invited to share serious games and fun activities, experiences and advice, knowledge and insights, laughter and smiles. We propose a unique experience for:
• develop your facilitation skills
• increase your change management capacity in your organization,
• encourage your creativity
• and improve your ability to innovate.

#Play14 is an unconference, where all attendees are also contributors. All you need to do is show up, and you will be given the opportunity to propose some games, or play the games proposed by others.

Who comes to #play14?

Participants come from all over the world. Whether they’re a coach, a teacher, a facilitator, a developer, an agile coach - ANYONE! We welcome people from all flavours of industries, roles and communities to come along. Ultimately people who use or want to use experiential learning professionally or socially.

How does it work?

Play14 is an un-conference. This means there are no keynotes, no rock stars on pedestals and that we will create the agenda collaboratively each day. Many of our participants use games, exercises, workshops regularly and will bring them along to share. #play14 is also a great opportunity to test out new ideas and skills in a very safe and friendly space.

What's the Schedule?

• Friday (18:00 onward) - We kick off the conference to connect, break the ice, share a meal and start to play

• Saturday (09:00-evening) - We resume in the morning for a full day of games, exercises and fun.

• Sunday (09:30-15:00) - We'll conclude the conference with a second day of play.

What sort of things do people share?
