THE AGENDA, ACTIVATED
Conference Gamification with Digital Event Passports
StampRise gamifies a conference by giving delegates a Digital Event Passport in their phone browser. Delegates scan QR stations placed around the agenda, complete short activities at sponsor areas, demos and breaks, and earn progress toward rewards. Session check-in is available as a supporting feature.
A live passport for conferences
Scan. Explore. Unlock what is next.
The organiser read
Conferences have natural gaps: coffee breaks, lunch, the walk between rooms. A Passport turns those gaps into short, optional activities that lead delegates to sponsor areas and demos they might otherwise pass. Organisers use StampRise when they want a light gamified layer around the agenda that delegates can join from a QR code, alongside whatever main event app they already run.
The participant journey
Make the next step obvious.
This is not another event brochure. It is a living route through conferences, with progress, rewards, and useful signals built in.

01 / Design
Build activities around the agenda, not into it
Delegates come for the sessions. The Passport should live in the time between them. Place stations in the coffee area, sponsor lounges and demo zones, and announce the Passport in the opening plenary so people know it exists.
- Stations near catering and break areas.
- A short mention on plenary slides.
- Reminders before lunch and afternoon breaks.
02 / Sponsors
Give sponsor exploration a reason
Each sponsor gets a QR station with an optional activity, such as a two-question quiz about their product or a short interest survey. Delegates make progress, and the sponsor gets an interaction that is more than a badge scan.
- Quizzes and surveys per sponsor.
- Staff-verified stamps where a conversation matters.
- Bonus points for featured partners.
03 / Activities
Activities that suit a conference crowd
Conference delegates are busy and often moving between rooms. Quick, browser-based tasks work best.
- QR or NFC stamps.
- Quizzes and surveys.
- Photo tasks for a shared wall.
- Leaderboard, spin wheel and lucky draw rewards.
04 / Supporting feature
Session check-in, when you need it
If you also want attendance records, delegates can scan a session QR at the room entrance or from the speaker's slide. Records include the delegate and a timestamp and can be exported. This is useful for CPD evidence or room planning, but it is a supporting feature, not the core of the gamified experience.
05 / Measurement
What organisers can report
StampRise records scans, completions and answers per station. These describe participation inside the Passport and can be shared with sponsors as observed activity. They are not a measure of sponsor revenue.
- Per-station scans and unique delegates.
- Completion rates.
- Activity responses.
- CSV export.
06 / Fit
Running alongside your conference app
StampRise does not try to replace networking, messaging or personalised agendas. Many organisers keep their main app and add the Passport as the gamified layer that delegates can join from a QR code.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Give delegates a browser-based Digital Event Passport. They scan QR stations around the venue, complete short activities and earn rewards, all without installing anything.
In places delegates already pass during breaks: catering, sponsor lounges, demo areas and registration. Avoid making delegates choose between a session and the game.
Usually not. StampRise focuses on gamified participation. Many organisers keep their main app for networking and use StampRise alongside it.
Yes, as a supporting feature. Delegates scan a session QR to record attendance, and organisers can export the records.
Observed activity at each sponsor station: scans, unique delegates, completions and answers. These are participation records, not sales outcomes.
