Turn Your Audience Into the Star of the Show
In 2025, social media walls are not just a tech gimmick—they’re one of the most engaging, community-driven features you can add to an event. Whether you’re hosting a product launch, trade show, music festival, or internal town hall, social wall boost participation, build social proof, and create excitement in real-time.
1. Hashtag Wall for Attendee Posts
Create a unique and memorable hashtag for your event and encourage your audience to post photos, videos, or messages using it. The social wall fetches these posts instantly and displays them on big screens, LED walls, or TVs around the venue.
🟢 Why it works: It turns your guests into content creators and encourages more social shares—resulting in higher online reach and real-time buzz.
2. Photo Contest Wall
Who doesn’t love a little competition? Run a mini photo contest—like “Best Event Selfie” or “Coolest Booth Moment”—and feature the entries on your social wall. You can let the audience vote through likes, emoji reactions, or even live polling.
🟢 Bonus tip: Offer small giveaways for the winners to encourage participation.
3. Sponsor Spotlight Wall
Your sponsors want visibility, and social walls can deliver that creatively. Feature sponsored posts, logos, or branded messages in between user content on the wall. You can even allocate them dedicated slots during breaks or key moments.
🟢 Why sponsors love it: It gives their brand real-time exposure and helps you offer premium sponsor packages.
4. Real-Time Twitter/X Feed Wall
During keynotes or panel discussions, display live twitter feed from attendees and speakers using a designated hashtag. It creates a sense of conversation in the room and encourages more people to join in.
🟢 Use it for: Q&A sessions, quote sharing, or hot takes during debates and keynote talks.
5. Live Testimonial Wall
Attendees sharing reviews or feedback in real-time? Showcase those posts on the wall as authentic social proof. Seeing real people enjoying the event encourages others to post their thoughts and experiences too.
🟢 Example: A wellness expo featured live quotes like “This yoga session changed my mindset 🙌 #WellnessWorld2025” on the main screen between sessions.
6. Social Media Feed Wall
Use the wall as a live feed of your official brand handles—Instagram posts, Facebook updates, TikTok teasers, or YouTube shorts. It’s a great way to cross-promote your channels and drive followers.
🟢 Example: Show the latest Instagram Stories and TikToks from your brand in real-time to build hype and connect offline with your online brand world.
7. Attendee Spotlight Moments
Some posts deserve more than just a place on the wall—they deserve the spotlight. Pick standout posts and highlight them with frames, animations, or shout-outs. It’s a fun way to recognize top contributors or the most creative attendees.
🟢 Tip: Use dynamic transitions or music to make spotlight moments truly memorable.
8. Campaign & Launch Content Wall
If your event includes a product launch or marketing campaign, display all relevant posts during the unveiling moment. Let people share their first impressions, reactions, or photos—and see them live.
🟢 Great for: Brand activations, car reveals, tech demos, or influencer rollouts.
9. Audience Q&A Wall
Make sessions more interactive by collecting questions through X (Twitter) or direct uploads and displaying them on the wall. It encourages even shy attendees to participate without raising hands.
🟢 Moderator-friendly: Pick and choose which questions to display using a moderation panel.
10. Live Poll & Emoji Reaction Wall
Get instant feedback with on-the-spot polls or emoji reactions. Let people vote for their favorite speaker, performance, or session topic—and show the live results on the wall.
🟢 Emoji reactions: Let ❤️🔥👏 float across the screen whenever someone posts or responds.
11. Post-Event Highlights Wall
Just because your event is over doesn’t mean the engagement has to stop. Turn your live wall into a post-event gallery and embed it on your website. It acts as a highlight reel full of real voices, photos, and moments that tell your story better than any promo.
🟢 Pro move: Share the gallery link with attendees in a thank-you email or newsletter.
