Shownotes

Gamification at events, it’s everywhere. But does it actually work? Or is it just another buzzword slapped onto an event with no real impact? In this episode of Not The Same As Last Year, I break down what gamification should actually do and how to make it meaningful rather than just sticking points and badges on things.

The truth about gamification - why most attempts fail

How to use gamification to drive real networking and engagement

Creative ways to gamify sessions (without making them cringe)

Simple ideas that boost interaction - both digitally and in person

How scavenger hunts, snowball games, and end-of-day bingo can turn passive attendees into active participants

If you’re tired of gamification that feels like cheesy and pointless, tune in to hear how to make it work properly.

I mention my fellow emcee/moderator, Jan-Jaap In Der Maur in this episode. For more info visit his website here: https://mastersinmoderation.com/training-and-coaching
