How we brought gamification to life at a 3-day revamped conference.

Client overview.

After five years without an in-person gathering, Batteries Plus wanted to reconnect its nationwide community with an experience that was unforgettable. They wanted to go beyond the simple general session and weave gamification into every aspect of their event.

GoGather's solutions.

GoGather handled full-service event strategy, management, and on-site management for the client. We helped them design a fully gamified event:

  • Gamification: Attendees earned points prior to the event through performance milestones. The event culminated in an onstage competition.
  • Elevated location: We helped the client secure a high-end hotel to get attendees excited and feel cared for.
  • Exciting sponsorships and activation opportunities: Instead of the same-old sponsorship logos, we helped design a fully interactive sponsorship package that included activations and greater value for sponsors.
  • Exciting off-sites: VIPs earned an immersive experience at the Sphere.

 

Results.

Attendance surpassed expectations, engagement levels were high, and the event left attendees excited for the next one.

What our clients say.

“The GoGather team did a really good job of asking what our goals were for the event so we could be on the same page. Our content also greatly improved because I had a lot more time to spend on that instead of all the other event details.” 
Annie EvansDirector of Community and Culture at Event Network
“GoGather helped us come up with four sponsorship levels and a more interactive, kiosk-style layout for the exhibits at our latest conference. Vendors responded well. We set an ambitious goal of increasing vendor spend by four times the previous year and easily exceeded that."
Beth TurnerDirector of Supplier Partnerships at MRINetwork
“We partner with GoGather to execute more than 30 trade shows and events each year. Their vast experience managing event processes and logistics gives us confidence that each event is in expert hands. They take care of the details so we can focus on our business goals.  They also help us stay focused on cost management by negotiating supplier contracts, making sure we meet deadlines to get extra discounts and offering creative event solutions within our budget.”
Kindra BradleyMarketing Director at Oakwood Worldwide
