Connecting Your Conference or Trade Show with SNO-GE

Imagine a conference where:

• Participants connect with each other in a fun and interactive way
• Sponsors and exhibitors have their logos and business profiles uploaded to participants’ smart phones
• People are rewarded for visiting booths, interacting with presenters, connecting with other conference participants, and real-time posting to social networks
• Door prizes are matched with the attendees’ direct interests and are awarded to participants who are the most engaged with the speakers, presenters, and exhibitors

One of the most valuable features conference and trade show planners can offer is to connect participants during and after the show takes place. Adding an interactive, fun, and social component to your event will greatly increase the value and effectiveness of the show to sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and participants, as well as drive up registration for future events.

Benefits to Conference and Trade Show Planners

Involve participants, sponsors, exhibitors and speakers
Attendees collect branded and relevant items throughout the conference from sponsors, exhibitors, and speakers by scanning/entering codes on their mobile devices or computers—or even by playing conference-specific online mini-games.

Increase fun and participation during the conference
Participants have fun assembling their collections of items into creative game boards like, “Which are your favorite speakers?“, “Which booths are ‘must-see’ at this conference?”, or even scavenger hunt boards that asks participants to find certain rare or hidden items.

Create persistent connections
After finishing their boards participants connect with other attendees based on similar item sets, earn points and prizes, and even can communicate, share vcards or arrange to meet up with their connections in person.
At the conclusion of the event, vendors and exhibitors can receive a list of opted-in players and stats showing users who collected their branded items–and even contact them directly after the event! And players can transfer their points and items into the online game ecosystem to continue building their network.

So much better than the business card draw
Sponsored promotion and prizes can also be offered for even more fun and engagement… kicking the boring old business card door prize draw to the curb. Prizes can be awarded to people who complete desired actions like:

• Collecting the most or rarest items
• First to collect all speaker items from all the sessions
• Highest number of “connection points” made during the conference
• First 20 players to complete sponsored game board, etc.
