October is upon us, and that means it’s time to start talking about the NASAGA 2026 Schedule. This post will cover the Wednesday and Thursday schedules, with next week’s talking about Friday and Saturday. The below are subject to change: the best place for the most up-to-date information is the NASAGA conference website.

The 20-sided Gamified Podcast team talks with Eleanor and Jesse of Expert Theory, who are revolutionizing simulation design and implementation with the use of their Providence AI platform.

Can the student speak? In this 20-Sided Gamified Podcast episode, Jared, Kelly, and Dr. Frank Rausch of Lander University interview Frank’s students about their experiences learning in a games-based environment. Don’t miss it!

For most of us in NASAGA, this year's theme lands close to home. Fields have used games, roleplay, and simulation to teach, rehearse, and decide for a very long time … the interesting question isn't whether other fields use these tools. It's what most of them still use them for, and where the room is.
