Games for Health Europe conference

The Games for Health Europe Conference is an annual conference where healthcare professionals, scientists and game developers come together to exchange experiences and create opportunities for applies games in healthcare. Think of games that increase self-management skills in patients, teach patients to cope with chronic conditions, and train specialist skills in healthcare professionals such as endoscopy or robotic surgery.

Conference theme 2025: What we learned yesterday to change tomorrow

Serious games have experienced an evolution over the past ten years. In this tenth edition of the Games for Health Europe conference, we will be looking back as well as reflecting on the future. Come and tell us your experiences and learnings: from the past, present and for the future!

Play is a global language

We know that play contributes to faster adaptation of new behavior. Serious games are relevant not only for healthcare, but for the well-being of people and planetary health as a whole. Playful intelligence, in addition to human and artificial intelligence, can shape the future.

How can we improve the world’s understanding of the relevance of serious games for our society?

Research, development, design or implementation; each perspective has its own story. Join the debate and bring your own success stories and important lessons learned from failures!

"The enthusiasm and the innovation of the participants and the audience is different to other 'tech' conventions I have been to and it really feels like a place where projects are made, business is being done and where a family of worldwide enthusiasts come together to freely talk about how we are going to move games in the healthcare industry forward."
