This is the first in a series of blog posts in which we will introduce you to this year's Connected Enterprise (#CCE2013) speakers. This year's list of speakers is comprised of a group of revolutionaries that will challenge you to reevaluate your approach to standing business models.
Jane is a world-renowned designer of alternate reality games (ARGs) — games designed to improve real lives and solve real problems. She is the New York Times best-selling author of Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World. As a TED 2010 speaker, her speech attracted over 1.7 million views. She is ranked #16 All-Time Most Engaging TED talk out of 835 all-time TED talks (as of 2010). She has also appeared on The Colbert Report and CNN.
Jane is a true innovator. She specializes in games that challenge players to tackle real-world problems, such as poverty, hunger, and climate change, through planetary-scale collaboration. Jane is turning the gaming paradigm on it's head, and demonstrating that games can inspire collaborative action to solve problems while still being fun.
Join Jane at this year's Connected Enterprise as she speaks about engagement models in her keynote address: "Beyond Gamification, the Future of Engagement".

Jane's enthusiasm and out-of-the-box thinking is truly inspiring. We encourage you to check out her 2012 TED Talk, "The game that can add 10 years to your life", a story about how a game cured a life-threatening injury and will, in turn, challenge you to examine the way you think about life, relationships, and games.
