What is a social event wall?

A social event wall is an interactive virtual wall that allows you to host social events in an engaging and interactive way. With features like Live Polls, Photo Booth, and Direct Posts, the social event wall provides a place for guests to connect and engage with each other in real-time. Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a large-scale event, a social event wall has everything you need to make your event a success.

Interactive features of a social event wall

  • Live Polls: With this feature, you can easily create and conduct polls during your virtual event. This feature allows attendees to share their opinions and vote in real-time, which adds an element of interactivity and engagement that is often lacking in virtual events.
  • Direct Posts: This enables attendees to post directly to the social wall, which encourages interaction and conversation among attendees. 
  • Photo Booth: The Photo Booth feature is a fun and engaging way to get attendees involved in the event. They can take pictures and share them on the social wall, adding a personal touch to the event.
  • Reactions: Attendees can react to posts with emojis and other visual cues, which adds an element of fun and engagement to the social wall.
  • Flexible Integration: The Walls.io social event wall is designed to be flexible and easy to integrate with any event platform. This means that you can easily incorporate your social wall into your existing event setup, without having to worry about compatibility issues.

Increased Engagement

With a social event wall’s interactive features mentioned above, guests are more likely to participate and stay engaged throughout the event. This leads to a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
