Make a Game of it: How Gamification Can Help Make Your Next Event a Success

Say you are planning a Conference and really want to get attendees involved in the conversation. Gamification, which is just what it sound like--implementing gaming elements into presentations--adds a competitive aspect that attendees respond well to.

Points, levels, or simple recognition are all ways to encourage engagement of your attendees. Just make sure the gaming components you include are meaningful. They should align with and reflect the overall theme and mission of the Conference.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Make it Count- know the purpose of the game. Of course you want to get your attendees involved, but why? Is it to increase awareness of a particular issue or is it to get them to modify their practices? Knowing what results you're looking for will help determine an appropriate gaming element.

2. Presentation- what works for one business may not work for another. Don't choose a gaming mechanism that doesn't fit with your company's overall tone.

3. Keep it simple- you don't want to overwhelm your guests with too many rules and have them miss the point. Make your 'game' easy to play to ensure your attendees have fun while accomplishing the goal of the event.

Happy Gaming!
