Instill some healthy competition at your event with Gamification, an exciting engagement feature that can be added-on to your Hybrid and onsite events. Allow your attendees to earn points both physically and virtually through attending sessions, networking and connecting with other attendees, viewing handouts, answering polls, participating in chats and more. Anything at your event is fair game for attendees to earn points. 

All points earned will be reflected on the leaderboard for attendees to view their own points and see who is in the lead. 

 

 

How it works: 

With Gamification, your Event Hosts will need to download our Badge Scanner App and assign the points to your attendees. Depending on which rules you set will determine how the points are awarded and how many points each attendee earns. You can choose to set points for only one section of your event, such as only checking in to sessions, or have attendees earn points all throughout your event. The events that can earn points are: 


Check-in:

  • Complete Check-In virtually in browser / through event  app / or in person
  • Add a photo during check-in
  • Participate in matchmaking

Sessions:

  • Attend a session virtually via the event app or browser
  • Attend in-person session (you must be scanned into a session through the Badge Scanner app)
  • Favorite a session
  • Participate in a chat
  • Submit a Q&A
  • Upvote a Q&A 

Booths:

  • Attend a booth virtually via the event app or browser
  • Attend in-person booth (you must be scanned into a session through the Badge Scanner app)
  • Participate in a chat
  • Submit a Q&A
  • Upvote a Q&A
  • Download a Handout

Home Page:

  • Click any custom widget to get points (unique to the Event App) 

Overall: 

  • Scan QR code 

 

You can set up these rules on your event’s backend . On your main series, under Manage Event, click on Networking Center in the lefthand navigation menu. A drop-down will appear. Select Gamification. In the Gamification screen, select New Rule. From there, use the dropdown menu to select the rule type. This will set how your attendees are able to earn points.

 

 

As of 10/20/24, there are 2 new Rules available: 

  1. Chatting directly with another attendee
  2. Scanning a QR code to connect in networking

Choosing which activities earn points, or setting all activities are able to earn points, will increase engagement and encourage participation at your event. 

How to Enter Points: 

Event Hosts manually award and deduct points when attendees complete their event or activity. They can do this by scanning the attendee’s QR code when they’ve completed an activity that earns points. Event hosts will be able to manage attendee’s points on the Badge Scanner App, where they can view a history of all the activities completed and award/deduct points. 

 

 

 

These points will reflect on the Leaderboard in the Companion App or in the Networking Center on their desktop.  On the Leaderboard, attendees will see their total points and their current balance of points. 

 

 

On the backend of your event, you can view a  history of every attendee’s points. Analytics captured are: 

  • First and last name 
  • Email Address
  • Rule Type 
  • Points that have been awarded and deducted 
  • Who awarded and deducted the attendee’s points 
  • Notes attached to the points 
  • Time and date points where earned/deducted 
  • Total and current points
