• What is the most memorable event activation you have ever experienced?

A standout was a collaborative project area. Groups of attendees worked together to create a mural using augmented reality (AR) paintbrushes. The mural evolved through the day, with each new addition adding layers of complexity and creativity. This collaborative art piece became a focal point of the event, with attendees eagerly capturing its progress through photos and videos.

• What is the most memorable event activation you have ever experienced? There was at one of our events an activation where guests could take a photo of themselves and based on the color of their image it joined other photos and at the end of the event all of the photos came together to form a major landmark of the city we were in.
• Share your best tip for creating meaningful, shareable moments at events! Really needs to be something out of the box but that interests your attendees. Really understanding the demographic of who attends your events and what would get them is important. What one group might find great a different group could find lame or uninteresting.
