Introduced in 2025, the Small Business Scavenger Hunt is a unique and interactive way to increase booth traffic and engage with attendees throughout the Exhibit Hall. This opportunity is available exclusively to small business exhibitors and is limited to just 25 participants.
Attendees will participate using the SAME mobile app or a QR code that allows access without the app. Their goal: visit designated waypoints—your booths—throughout the exhibit floor. Each participating small business will receive a QR code sticker to display or "hide" in their booth. When attendees scan the code, they earn points and track their progress on a virtual leaderboard.
This gamified experience encourages attendee movement and drives visibility to participating booths. Random prize drawings will be held for attendees who check in at a certain percentage of waypoints, providing an additional incentive for engagement. As an exhibitor, you will receive data on everyone who scans in at your booth!
Space is limited! Don’t miss this opportunity to stand out and maximize your visibility at the Small Business Conference.
