Badges

Badges are a collection of virtual trophies that participants earn during the event. They provide extra motivation to visit stands, attend talks and engage with the app.

There are two ways to earn a badge:

• by scanning a QR code, e.g. at a partner’s stand, in the networking area or at the entrance to the hall; scanning may also award gamification points,
• by reaching a points threshold in the gamification system; the badge is then awarded automatically.

For each badge, you set the name, description, location where it can be earned, a short hint on ‘how to earn it’, and the period during which it is active. You can choose the graphic from a library of icons in the event’s colours or upload your own. You can download printable QR codes individually or all at once in a ZIP file.

Participants see a grid of badges in the app and on the website. Badges that have been earned are coloured; the others are grey, with information on how to earn them or how many points are still needed. In the dashboard, you have a report showing the number of badges earned by each participant, which can be exported to Excel.
