Sometimes, an event can look great, have fantastic food and atmosphere, but still fail to make an impact. The missing piece in that puzzle is attendee participation, which can be challenging to encourage. Interaction is the keyword, and it is something many events lack.
However, an event planning professional can ensure that doesn’t happen through smart use of technology. While there are AI and VR solutions that are making their presence known in the event planning industry, that’s not all a planner has at their disposal.
Let’s have a look at some digital games and interactive solutions used to drive attendee participation at corporate events.
Interactive Digital Contests
When you put the words “interactive” and “digital” in the same context, social media naturally comes to mind. To go the extra mile for the attendees, some choose to have their events include an event app or a specially designed social media contest in which everyone can participate. The beauty of this entertainment is that contests can be very versatile, from a hashtag-to-win incentive to secret treasure hunts where hints are dropped over social media. You can let your creativity go wild!
Digital Walls
A digital wall can be a great addition to an event, either as décor or to provide an interactive experience. Video walls are a frequently seen element at events, made of a multitude of integrated screens that are seamlessly tiled next to each other. You can make use of this large display area in any way you want, and it will certainly not go unnoticed.
Self-Service Digital Kiosks
Digital kiosks at events are most often used as a part of trade shows where attendees can get information. However, they can be more than that. Since they are essentially display stands for a tablet, they can be a great interactive tool to enhance participation. It all depends on what you designate the tablet to do. The more involved your guests are, the better time they will have.
Digital Gaming Consoles
Gaming consoles bring a lot to the table with the element of competition, contests, fun, and interaction. As such, they are essential in any team building, competitive activity — if you wish to go digital. Set up a leaderboard and incentivize attendees to try their skills at different games. There’s a variety of options to choose from, including stationary rigs, interactive mats with motion sensors, and more.
Mirror Signage
Mirror signage can be extremely effective at driving participation, particularly when you use it as a “magic mirror” that fits the overall theme of the event. It’s possible to create a custom computerized overlay that blends with the user’s mirror image.
So, if you have a pirate-themed event, why not get your attendees to get a virtual pirate makeover? With mirror signage, possibilities are endless.
