Project Overview

The iBeacon event management mobile app utilizes the technology of iBeacons for engaging event attendees during queue waiting periods. The application works using iBeacon sensor technology that detects nearby users and launches related videos and multiple-choice questions based on them.

The app turns the waiting period into an interesting event experience with the help of proximity-based content, quizzes, badges, sharing, and a reward system. Badges can be earned by participating in certain activities, and users will be eligible for prizes based on their participation milestones over several days.

Project Objectives

Improve engagement of the attendees during events.
Use iBeacon to provide location-based information.
Offer interactive videos and quizzes for improved engagement.
Award participants for completing tasks and challenges at events.
Allow users to share the progress of their achievements through social media channels.
Provide a secure way of authenticating users.
Use GPS-based location to trigger an application.

Business Challenges

1. Low Engagement from Participants While Waiting

Participants in events spend quite some time queuing, and this causes low engagement since they get bored while waiting. Event planners require an app that would engage users while waiting for them.

2. Providing Users With Content Depending on Their Location

Ordinary event apps are not capable of determining when a participant is near a particular area where certain content or activities take place. Proximity technology would be used to do this.

3. Engaging the Users

It is one thing to show the participants information about the event and another thing to engage them in using the app. A new approach would be needed to encourage users to view the content.

4. Creating a Reward System

Planners of the event wanted to encourage continuous use of the application by the users over the various days in the event. A system involving badges and prizes would be created for the purpose.

5. Secure and Controlled Access to the Application

The application needed to have secure authentication and access based on location to make sure that the content of the event reached the right people.

Our Solutions

We have developed an iBeacon-based event engagement application that integrates all elements of proximity, interaction, gamification, and social aspects into one mobile application. The application detects nearby iBeacon sensors and presents videos and questions depending on the position of the attendee.

Enable Proximity-Based Engagement

The iBeacon-based application detects nearby attendees with the help of strategically placed iBeacon sensors within the event venue. Once the user comes into contact with the corresponding proximity zone, the application can automatically present corresponding videos and interactive questions.

Gamify the Event Experience

Users are able to answer multiple-choice questions related to the presented material and earn badges for completing tasks. Those users that collect three badges within three days are eligible for receiving a reward.

Encourage Social Sharing

Users can share their results on social media networks, which gives attendees an opportunity to demonstrate their participation in the event.

Key Benefits

Boost engagement levels among attendees while waiting in line.
Provide videos and questions based on location data.
Apply proximity marketing technology using iBeacon.
Make attendees participate by offering badges and awards.
Promote multi-day engagement of attendees.
Allow sharing of user progress with social media.
Offer safe and easy Facebook login.
Track users via GPS and activate apps accordingly.
