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.

I think the big benefit is that when our participants see the wall projected, it encourages them to engage more on social media. So it’s a bit of a carrot to get them to jump on Twitter or Instagram and participate because they see the wall projected. Participants want to see their images and contributions projected for everybody else to see. So I think for me as a comms person, that’s the biggest benefit of it. And then there’s the practical side, where it’s just a great way to combine all of our activity around the event and have a visual representation of that.

The social wall helped us increase awareness and let people perceive us as a creative employer — somebody who is open to new ideas and tries to go with the times.

We used the social wall on our recurring virtual conference to increase attendee engagement, both inside and outside the event platform. It encouraged our attendees to post on social media, which is a great way to show social proof and encourage more people to register. The cherry on the cake was the integration with our long-time partner SnapBar, a virtual photo booth provider. It made our event feel more human and reminded our audience that there’s a real person behind each profile. Walls.io is a great tool for creating a sense of community and belonging!

We created the Hero Wall to promote the Diamond Collar Awards, get donations and engage people.

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.
