TwitchVision was a fun competition that had to do with creative people, great music, and lots of different creators and communities. So I thought it would be a great idea to include a “social wall” section within the show to engage the audience, interact with their posts, and encourage them to support their favourite songs by posting about them and getting featured on the TwitchVision wall.


Creative Center of America created the social wall with the hashtags #MentalHealthKC and #MHKC19 so that hope could be amplified, and help could be more easily found by anyone struggling with the challenges of mental illness. We displayed the social wall on a 50-inch TV screen in the high-traffic, registration check-in area at the conference. Cerner also embedded our wall in the app for the event that was used by conference attendees.


Social media helps us raise excitement for our events and to engage students and community members in a positive way. We display our Walls.io social media wall at SUNY’s Got Your Back assembly events and conferences. Students and community members post photos and messages which are then rotated on the screens. This helps our attendees engage individually and collectively with the program in real-time.


TEDx is all about ideas and the conversations that will spark from them. The social wall helps accelerate these conversations as they’re accompanying the talks in real-time, but it also serves as an archive for audience reactions after the event.


The NAMM Show social wall represents the joy and excitement that our attendees and exhibitors have before, during, and after the annual event. Our wall colors are vibrant and match the energy of our audience. The wall looks cool and encourages engagement wherever it's featured; On our NAMM Show+ App (powered by Swapcard), our homepage on namm.org, and around the show campus in Anaheim on big screens.


The more we use the wall, year after year, the more it becomes a staple of our ceremony. I just want to continue to show how much engagement we’re getting and all the fun ways it can involve parents, families, and students. And it really gets people excited to see themselves up on the screen.
