Seeing their posts appear in real-time on the big screens was the biggest motivator. For FHS Saudi Arabia and FHS World, many of our speakers and exhibitors naturally wanted that visibility, so they actively used the hashtag throughout the event.

Walls.io helps us to really bring our social media and event-specific hashtags to life at our events. It is the perfect tool for curating and amplifying the best posts from our attendees, and a great way to encourage attendees to post more when they see their content appearing on the big screen.

We showed the wall on a big screen on stage after each moderation part, in the break, and during the workshop as well. It was really great because people could always see what was happening on social media. We really liked how easy it was to set up a social wall with Walls.io. We went for the event subscription, so I only did a trial run one day before our event and it was really easy. I just connected our Twitter and Instagram accounts and defined our hashtag #BMWWOLCON in the sources. And that was it — incredibly easy.

We have used social media walls at in-person events in the past. It helped bring together attendees’ social engagement and created buzz around the event. In virtual events, it has been an integral interactive activation we have recommended to our clients. Given its digital channel, audiences across the globe can check in to express themselves, take part in a live social media contest and have some fun with their virtual photo booth selfie.

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.

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.
