We want to present our guests with a wide variety of impressions from Bad Buchau. The social wall makes this easy because it allows us to collect and use the excellent content our guests create and display it next to our posts and images.
Running is very emotional. This is why we have been using Walls.io social walls for years. It’s easy to get runners to post their experiences from races and training sessions on social media and share these moments with others. This integration of UGC creates a closer connection between the runners, us and our race.
Social walls are an excellent tool for non-profit organisations like ours. They’re a great way to draw attention at events and let the organisation shine. Walls.io has loads of features and covered everything we needed and more. Changes in the settings can even be made in real time, which is helpful for live events. And, of course, our members loved the social wall.
Because we wanted to display the wide range of hometowns and fields of study, our thoughts naturally drifted to creating a map of the world with locations marked by posts and tweets. For the campaign, the Walls.io map and wall are being embedded into our Welcome site, a kind of portal for new students to orient them to campus, life in Ann Arbor, and the many resources available to them. Students are directed to this site when they receive their offer of admission, to help inform their decision-making.
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.
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!
