Try Walls.io social walls for free

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.

Because our target audience is highly social and likely to be on multiple social media platforms, we thought that a social wall really suited our needs. So we launched the hashtag #MaritimeWomenPhotoShare and to participate, participants could either use the hashtag on Twitter or Instagram or simply submit their photos using an email address we created for that purpose. And with the wall, it created this mosaic of working maritime women which was really empowering and inspiring, and more and more women joined.

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.

We loved that Walls.io provided a hybrid solution for connecting both onsite and virtual audiences. I would highlight the direct posting feature as one of Walls.io’s most valuable benefits. It creates a safe and controlled environment for our internal audience while respecting their privacy.

We’ve been using Walls.io for 12 years, and since the beginning, the tool has offered the best features for the best value. What we really like is the variety of templates and the ease of switching between them, along with the possibility of creating a custom design through CSS access. These customization options are essential for us to achieve exactly what we want.

The audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees enjoyed seeing their posts featured on the big screen, which created a sense of inclusion and excitement. It became a talking point during the conference, with many attendees actively seeking to have their content displayed.
