Conference activation idea: Tetris competition at the booth.
It is hard to get devs to your booth if all you offer is a "do you want to see a quick demo" spiel.
You need to get a bit more creative than that.
💚 The team at Storyblok ran a Tetris competition:
- Playing station at the booth to make sure people come by
- Live leaderboard for when people were not playing + to get folks to play again
- Branding around the playing station for those who take photos to share it on socials
- A cool devy prize (mechanical keyboard) to build some additional reason to play talk about it
Afaik it was a big hit and I can definitely see why.
📒 A few more notes:
- make it live at the booth, not available online -> you'll get no buzz for it otherwise (made this mistake)
- try to get organizers to give you a few minutes of the schedule to give away prizes
- if you can connect the game to your product in a memorable way do that. Â
btw, IÂ read about it on DX Tips. You want to check out that article on dev conferences from DX Tips
