What Is Our Virtual Leaderboard?
The leaderboard lets you maximize attendance and keep users engaged by awarding points. Everyone is on a quest for the top spot. Users immerse themselves in the event and receive points for watching sessions or interacting with booths.
How the Leaderboard Works
The leaderboard works by awarding points to users for completing activities at the event. You can determine which activities will award points to users. The leaderboard tab on the top event navigation bar lists activities. Top 50 users with the most points get to shine on the leaderboard display. The top scorers get to win exciting prizes from the event.
Update: Leaderboard on Mobile App
Gamification for your virtual event with us just got better! You can now experience and compete on the leaderboard via our mobile app. Users can log in to the platform via our mobile app and view the Leaderboard tab for the list of activities. Users can then start collecting points by completing these to earn a spot on the leaderboard.
Notes for Admins and Exhibitors
The gamification features are exclusive to attendees at the event. Booth representatives and event admins cannot participate in these activities.
