With technology advancing on a daily basis these days it’s
time for conferences to incorporate these changing developments into their
agendas. At Paragon Events we are always
researching the newest trends in attendee tracking and other event management
apps to make the behind the scenes processes go more smoothly, but what about
on the scene, in the middle of the hustle and bustle of conferences? As a way
to answer this question, app developers have created the idea of gamification-
the concept of incorporating games to traditionally non-gaming communities or
in this case non-gaming conferences. Event planners have collaborated with this
idea and have created competitions using these games at trade shows and
lectures. For example, if the goal of the game is to make the most
contacts, attendees at trade shows can use apps like EventMobi and Active
Network to save the contact information from business cards, QR codes, and
other displays. The apps track the number of connections you have made and by
the end of the competition the winner is easily recognized. Another way these
apps can be used for gaming competitions is by using QR codes and as the
attendees scan certain QR codes they are presented with questions and the
person with the most correct answers at the conference wins a prize. So if you want to create a more interactive environment at
your next conference maybe you should think about gamifying your event.
You can place QR
codes essentially anywhere, even on t-shirts.
You can also embed your QR code into a picture.
