What is an event social wall?
An event social wall is an engagement tool that allows you to collect content posted by attendees and speakers using your event’s hashtag. It enables you to curate the content and display it on a screen, embed it on your event website or live stream, or show it before and after each session. The event wall acts as a social hub and encourages interaction between attendees, speakers, sponsors, and fans.

People seemed to really enjoy it and watched it frequently to see their posts being displayed. It definitely added to the excitement and made people more engaged during the day. We’re hoping that it will help spark interest for future events as well.”

“Walls.io helps us to really bring our social media and event-specific hashtags to life at our live events. It is the perfect tool for curating and amplifying the best posts from our attendees, and a great way to encourage attendees to post more when they see their content appearing on the big screen. Attendees consistently give us very positive feedback on the experience, coming up to our social team to ask for more information on this magical tool that saw their post leap out of their phone and into reality.”
Nicholas Jones, Social Media Manager, United Way Greater Toronto

This helps our attendees engage individually and collectively with the program in real-time.”
