Why NASAGA Should Be On Your 2026 Calendar

Registration for NASAGA 2026 is now officially open — and we cannot wait to gather with you in Rochester this October!

This year’s conference theme, “Sustaining Human Connection through Play in the Digital Age,” feels especially timely as we continue exploring how games, simulations, and playful experiences can help people connect, learn, collaborate, and thrive.

And if you’ve attended NASAGA before, you already know…

This is not your typical conference.

NASAGA is interactive, welcoming, creative, energizing, and deeply human. It’s a place where people come together to experiment, facilitate, play, reflect, laugh, learn, and build lasting professional friendships.

Over two and a half days, you’ll experience:

  •  Interactive workshops and simulations

  •  Meaningful conversations and shared experiences

  •  Practical facilitation and debrief techniques

  •  Creative ideas you can immediately apply in your work

  •  A vibrant community passionate about experiential learning
