Starting simple: the wall of cubes, front sides form a motivating picture, will allow every participant to appreciate their own little input to the main cause. Pieces of such wall or a panel picture can be decorated with freshly printed photos or other decorations. Participants can leave their greetings or messages on the wall, and last but not least – take pictures against it.

Electronic puzzle. As participants have been using iPads all along, we can put them to use in the finale. Upon reaching final destination, each iPad will display a piece of a puzzle. Constructing one large shiny picture out of dozens iPads is a sight to behold, and moreover, provides a nice background for a group photo. In our practice, we constructed such panel pictures, alighted after being made accurately, few meters long. We also organize actions in flash-mob format for groups of a few thousand people. In the course of those actions participants perform a collective lively «corporate dance», forming a huge word or a figure that will be read and recorded from the helicopter. Instructions can be received via electronic devices given by the animators or participants’ own mobiles, or even be transmitted on mobile information stands, arriving at the place always in time. As a part of our basis service package we traditionally include «progress review» procedure over the course of the final dinner. We demonstrate photos and videos collected by our participants, team captains comment on them and then everyone receive their respective awards in different nominations. info@eventplatform.ru | eventplatform.ru | facebook.com/EventPlatform | +7 495 66 503 66 POCKET EVENT Event Advisor: an app for exhibitions and conference participants.
