NEW Badge Game UX

The Interactive Badge Game

The Interactive Badge Game is a Touchpoint feature designed to encourage networking among attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors. The Leaderboard allows attendees to check progress and see who is in the lead. Earned badges are displayed on an attendee’s profile. Participation tends to be higher than expected. Most people enjoy the friendly competition. You should plan upfront how you’d like to set up the interactive badge game. This article provides hints, tips, and considerations.

It’s your game; you make the rules.

You may allow attendees to earn badges by checking in to specific agenda sessions and exhibitor booths. You may even allow them to earn a badge by logging in to the app and for taking a survey. It’s your game; you set all the rules.

You’ll want to get folks involved early by having some easy-to-earn badges, most often the badge. Then have some more challenging badges to keep them interested. Encourage networking, sponsor interaction, attendee feedback, and other conference objectives using this fun, interactive game.
