Customer Conference Bingo

A networking bingo game to help customers and attendees connect at your conference.

Customer Conference Bingo is designed for company-hosted conferences and user events, helping customers, partners, and attendees strike up conversations beyond the sessions themselves. It gives people a reason to explore the exhibition floor, meet other attendees, and engage with your brand throughout the event. It works especially well between sessions or during networking breaks.

How to run this activity

Include a bingo card in the conference welcome pack or make it available via the event app. Attendees explore the venue, finding people, sessions, or stands that match each square. Set up a collection point at a branded stand where completed cards can be entered into a prize draw. Announce the winner during a closing session or networking reception to build excitement throughout the day.
