How event gamification catches the imagination while making your event a success. Looking for ideas on how to engage efficiently with participants and reach them on a deeper emotional level at your next event? Gamification formats hold the promise of maximum attention in a business context while delivering the kind of entertaining user-generated content that leaves people coming back for more. This is how you can bring your event to life through interactive games.

At the ICCA Client Supplier European Venue Workshops 2024, participants engage in discussions at a table in a speed dating format. The polySTAGE is at the center of the event. Tables, branded according to congress locations, are arranged in a circle around the LED panels, creating a pleasant atmosphere for mutual exchange. All about the ICCA Business Speed Dating 2024.

Tourism fair with quiz and AI conversation

A mobile quiz integrates the participants into the panel discussion at the Austrian Tourism Day. Also, guests can engage in dialogue with the AI co-host Kiara in the networking zones. “Kiara, how would you travel in the year 2050?” – when else can you chat with a ‘real-life’ AI? Here you can find the best practice event.

Game areas at congresses

The pool table in the entrance hall at the Congress of the European Society of Nuclear Medicine helped create a relaxed atmosphere while giving participants the perfect networking opportunity. Who’s good at football? The European Congress of Radiology created fun chill-out areas for visitors to relax and unwind in. A great way to promote interaction while strengthening community loyalty.

The power of event gamification

Gamification encourages your visitors to engage with your event at a different level. Namely by activating the brain’s reward system.
