Instructions
All attendees at IHHA & WCRR will be able to participate in a ‘Leaderboard’ competition via the ConnectMe App and win great prizes. This QR code scavenger hunt is designed to encourage networking and engagement amongst speakers, delegates and sponsors / exhibitors, as well as encourage attendance at functions and participation in certain activities across the event. Each action/ activity attracts a certain number of points.
Attendees will have access to a ‘Points Scanner’ button on the app which they will use to scan the QR codes and earn points and reach the top of the leaderboard.
If exhibiting, your stand staff will be provided with a printed/ laminated QR Code to place somewhere within your stand. Attendees are encouraged to visit your stand and scan this to earn points. There will be several other locations throughout the venue where points can be earned. Attendees can view the leaderboard on the app to track their progress, find clues to earn maximum points and view the prizes on offer.
All sponsor and exhibitor representatives are eligible to play and win. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd 3rd place. There will also be a randomised draw – all those achieving a point score above 1000 will go into the draw for an additional 3 prizes.
Winners will be notified after the event and announced in the post-event email campaign sent to all attendees.
SPAM WARNING
List broking companies sometimes email exhibitors claiming to have attendee data. This is false and we advise you to delete this as it is spam.
