The simulation and gaming community is a welcoming and open community of researchers, game designers, and facilitators of games and gamification. For over 50 years, the ISAGA community has been a beacon of knowledge and best practices to people interested in simulation and gaming regardless of which field of knowledge they come from. The sheer amount of knowledge and impact of the community and its applications on so many different scientific areas is beyond comprehension. The feeling of this moment is truly to stand on the shoulders of giants. Since the first conference in Bad Godesberg in Germany, ISAGA has served as a reference for researchers and educators. Through time it has contributed many hundreds of papers, simulation games, learning programs, and ideas on how to make a better future. Simulation and gaming is a field of action learning, and simulation games created and presented by ISAGA members influence the lives of many thousands of people every year. The grand challenges in society are of such systemic nature that the roots of ISAGA are more relevant than ever to contribute to finding pathways to the future. We are obliged and proud to continue and uphold this legacy and tradition for generations to come.
