It was a big wall, probably 12 feet tall. I should have had somebody stand next to it for the photo! And it was pretty cool. We set it up right by the registration area. We also had a booth there where participants could redeem the tickets they received for participating in sessions and exchange them for t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. So it was a place where we got lots of traffic, and people would walk by and see the wall. And then, of course, that would encourage them to post more pictures.
The wall was a distinct point of attraction for our event audiences — partners, ministries, and state officials. It was dynamic and helped our event participants engage with the proceedings of the day and what was being disseminated on our social media channels.
Not all colleagues have social media or LinkedIn, so for that internal purpose, having Walls.io helps display and share passion and dedication from colleagues. It inspires other colleagues to do the same. It’s a great solution for keeping company culture together, and we’re very happy with it.
We were delighted with the use of Walls.io at our OECD Forum this year; displayed on the wall of the conference centre, it animated the space and encouraged participants to engage on social media.
While hosting an internal event, it has been critically important that we ensure data privacy and that social media policies are observed and upheld by every attendee. We leveraged Direct Posts on a social media wall in the 6Connex VEP, and voilá: we were able to gather thoughts from our attendees without worrying about any concerns regarding a breach in privacy.
We were so happy to find the features Walls.io offered. It allowed us to create a virtual audience so that anyone watching could cheer on teammates and celebrate wins at home. It kept engagement up on social and also helped spread the word about our events. People were excited to see themselves on the wall!
