OUTCOME
Through careful consideration of the brief, event goals and planned activities we recommended our unique smart wearable buttons.
Our dedicated team integrated into the RecFest event team seamlessly, providing comprehensive pre-event advice and support prior to the festival and supported the event onsite with our crew of event technology specialists.
Networking
Using the buttons, attendees were able to easily exchange digital contact information with their peers and exhibitors, by clicking their buttons together. The contacts they made were available immediately via a paired and fully custom branded event app, which the attendee downloaded onto their own device prior to the event.
The event app also featured the agenda, speaker biographies, a full list of exhibitors, feedback surveys, gamification leader boards and more allowing attendees to plan their day.
Each wearable button was attached to a branded lanyard, the lanyard also held a small festival pass booklet and drinks voucher.
Using the engagement platform which is paired with the smart wearables, organisers were able to view how many contact exchanges took place throughout the event, the average number of exchanges per attendee and the peak times exchanges took place, allowing them to analyse what activities/sessions sparked peaks in networking levels. Detailed insights such as these aid planning for future events.
Attendance tracking
Our team installed Bluetooth hubs across the festival space, which work in conjunction with the smart wearables and allow data to be gathered passively, in real-time.
The passive tracking of event zones ensured organisers could manage the event’s dynamics and monitor the flow of attendees around the site.
By mapping attendee activity and footfall, organisers were able to determine who attended which sessions, which sessions were most popular, session dwell time, what content attendees chose to gather and more. This provides valuable insights into attendee behaviour for future planning and CRM activities post event.
Attendee feedback
Following each session attendees were asked to provide feedback via a simple survey housed in the event app. Post event, we provided organisers with a detailed report listing the average attendee rating per activity, the activity’s attendance level and dwell time at each activity. Organisers can use this information to review engagement levels and consider the results when planning future events.
Touchpoints
Each exhibitor at the festival was given a ‘Touchpoint’ on their stand to digitise product interest and allow them to share content easily with attendees. Attendees clicked their button on the relevant Touchpoint and the content was sent directly to the attendee’s event app.
