We’ll show you how to use our event technology and discuss examples of in-person and virtual event gamification.
Event gamification turns passive attendance into fun challenges that motivate action. With a built-in, no-code builder, you launch activities in minutes and tie them to sessions, exhibitors, or behaviors. Points, prizes, and a live leaderboard keep energy high, so attendees explore more of your program and sponsors see more traffic and measurable engagement.
Use the no-code challenge builder to choose a template or design your own, then publish in minutes. You can target behaviors like attending specific sessions, visiting booths, answering polls, or scheduling meetings. Rules are flexible, so you can set durations, point values, and limits. This lets planners test ideas quickly and iterate based on participation.
Encourage actions that matter for your goals, such as joining sessions, completing polls and Q&A, booking meetings, connecting with peers, visiting sponsors and exhibitors, posting on social media, or downloading resources. Because rules are configurable, you can weight high-value actions more heavily. This keeps the game purposeful and aligns engagement with outcomes your stakeholders care about.
Gamified incentives push more qualified traffic to booths and sponsor touchpoints. You can create challenges that reward visits, scans, or interactions, then highlight partners on the leaderboard or prize announcements. Packaging custom challenges inside sponsorship tiers adds a new revenue lever while giving exhibitors clearer return on investment (ROI) signals tied to the behaviors you value most.
Yes. The experience spans in-person and hybrid programs, so onsite attendees and remote participants can compete together. Tie points to session attendance, booth visits, networking, chats, polls, or downloads to keep both audiences active. Because challenges are embedded in the overall experience, engagement feels natural, not bolted on, and participation remains high across formats.
You choose the prizes and rules. Offer gift cards, devices, or swag for top point-earners, or run random drawings for anyone who completes key actions. Clear rewards spur participation, and announcing winners keeps momentum up. Because rules are transparent, attendees understand how to climb the leaderboard and sponsors see the value of incentivized interactions.
Display a live leaderboard on monitors or screens around the venue to spotlight standings in real time. Frequent updates create friendly competition and prompt attendees to complete one more action. Pair the display with emcee callouts or social prompts, so momentum builds throughout the day and your most important areas stay busy.
Pre-built templates and a no-code builder remove friction, so planners can set goals, pick actions, assign points, and publish quickly. Because challenges connect directly to sessions, exhibitors, and engagement tools, you do not need separate systems. This speed helps teams pilot ideas, learn what resonates, and fine-tune rules between days or tracks.
Each challenge maps to an action you can track, such as attendance, booth visits, or content downloads. With consistent data, you compare participation by session or sponsor, identify the incentives that worked, and report outcomes confidently. These insights inform future programming, sponsorship packages, and the mix of activities that drive the most value.
Book a demo when you want a tailored walkthrough of challenge types, rules, and prize structures that match your goals. The team will share ideas that work for similar events and help you map engagement moments across your agenda. You leave with a ready-to-run plan you can launch quickly with your content and sponsors.
Make the expo floor the game. Award points when an exhibitor scans an attendee’s QR code with the lead capture app, when attendees chat with a booth or download its files, and double points for QR codes you hide around the venue in a scavenger hunt. Show standings on a live leaderboard and let sponsors fund the prizes, so traffic rises where exhibitors need it.
In the Accelevents virtual event hub, attendees earn points for watching sessions live or on replay, asking questions, answering polls, chatting, visiting virtual booths, downloading files, and matching in networking sessions. Standings appear on a leaderboard in the event lobby with the top three featured, and attendees can track each challenge and the badges they have earned.
