Event Rewards Software That Keeps Attendees Engaged
Award points for the actions that matter, rank everyone on a live leaderboard, and pay out in coupons, e-gifts and prize draws — in person, virtual or hybrid.
No Obligation Discovery Call
What an Event Rewards Engine Actually Does
Attendance is not engagement. People register, show up, sit through the keynote and leave without answering a poll, filling in a survey or visiting a single exhibitor stand — and the organiser finds out afterwards, from a report, when nothing can be done about it. Event rewards software closes that gap by attaching a visible, immediate incentive to the behaviour you want, while the event is still running.
The mechanism is simple. You decide which actions earn points and how many. The platform awards them automatically as attendees act, ranks everyone on a live leaderboard, and lets those points be exchanged for something real — a coupon spent in your in-event marketplace, an e-gift delivered instantly, or an entry into a randomly drawn prize. Because the points sit on the same attendee record created at registration and stamped at check-in, there is no separate scoring spreadsheet to reconcile and no export step before you can see who is actually participating.
It draws on the rest of the platform for its triggers: responses to surveys, live polls and trivia, session attendance from sessions management, contact scans from digital business cards, and booth visits from exhibitor and sponsor management. Every award and redemption then reports back through analytics and CRM, so the programme's cost and its effect on participation are both measurable.

Get Started
How reward points keep attendees engaged
Points for taking part
Attendees earn automatically for the actions you choose — joining a session, answering a poll, completing a survey, scanning a contact or visiting a stand. No manual scoring, no honour system.
A live leaderboard people can see
Standings update as points land, so the competition is visible while it still matters. Seeing a rank two places away is what pulls someone into the next session rather than the exit.
Participation you can measure
Because every point maps to a recorded action, engagement stops being a feeling and becomes a number — per session, per exhibitor and per attendee segment.
What You Can Reward, and What Attendees Get Back
Points come from actions the platform already records, and go out as rewards you control.
-
Registering and checking in
Award early-bird registrations and on-time arrivals to pull the queue away from the 9am crush.
-
Attending sessions
Points per session attended, weighted if you want to fill the rooms that need the audience most.
-
Surveys, polls and trivia
The response rates organisers usually beg for. An incentive at the point of asking changes them.
-
Visiting exhibitors and sponsors
Booth visits become measurable footfall — and a line item a sponsor will pay for next year.
-
Networking and contact scans
Reward attendees for actually meeting each other, not just standing in the same hall.
-
Redeemable coupons
Spent in your in-event marketplace on merchandise, upgrades, meals or next year's ticket.
-
Instant e-gifts
Delivered to the attendee's inbox the moment they qualify, while the moment still counts.
-
Prize draw entries
Randomised, equal-chance draws for the high-value prizes — see the winner nomination below.
Casino-Style Winner Nomination
Some prizes are too valuable to hand out on a judgement call. This is a randomised draw, not a ranking: every qualifying participant is entered with an equal chance and the algorithm picks the winner, so nobody running the session can influence the result. Attendees can see the draw was fair, and you are not left defending a decision from the stage — which is exactly why organisers use it for headline giveaways and roundtable rewards rather than leaving them to the leaderboard alone.
Redeem coupons and rewards in the marketplace
Points become coupons attendees spend in your in-event marketplace. You control the catalogue, so a reward can be merchandise, a session upgrade, a meal voucher or a discount on next year's ticket.
Sponsors can fund the catalogue, which puts their brand on the thing attendees actually want and gives you redemption numbers to report back to them.
Redemptions are tracked against the attendee record, so unclaimed rewards and the real cost of the programme are both visible before you budget the next event.
Attract attendees and drive ROI
Rewards work before the doors open. Publishing what is on offer gives your marketing campaigns something concrete to say, and gives fence-sitters a reason to register now rather than later.
E-gifts go out instantly rather than weeks later, so the reward lands while the attendee is still thinking about your event — which is when they post about it.
Every award and redemption is reportable, so you can put a number on what the programme cost and what it moved — session attendance, survey completion, booth traffic — instead of arguing it on instinct.

Event Rewards Software FAQs
What organisers ask before they put a rewards programme in front of an audience.
What is event rewards software?
Event rewards software gives attendees a reason to do the things organisers want them to do. It awards points automatically when someone completes an action — joining a session, answering a poll, filling in a survey, visiting an exhibitor — ranks everyone on a leaderboard, and lets those points be exchanged for something real, such as a coupon, an e-gift or entry into a prize draw. EventTitans runs all of that on the same attendee record used for registration and check-in, so no separate points database has to be maintained.
What actions can attendees earn reward points for?
Anything the platform already records can carry points: registering early, checking in, attending a session, submitting a survey response, answering a live poll, playing trivia, scanning another attendee's digital business card, or visiting an exhibitor or sponsor booth. You decide which actions are worth points and how many, so the scoring reflects what actually matters for your event.
What can attendees redeem their reward points for?
Points convert into coupons that attendees spend in your in-event marketplace, into e-gifts delivered instantly to their inbox, or into entries in a prize draw. Because you control the catalogue, rewards can be sponsor-funded merchandise, session upgrades, meal vouchers or discounts on next year's ticket — whatever fits your budget and your sponsors' goals.
How does the casino-style winner nomination work?
It is a randomised draw rather than a ranking. Every qualifying participant is entered with an equal chance, and the algorithm picks the winner, so the outcome cannot be influenced by whoever is running the session. That matters when a prize is valuable: attendees can see the draw was fair, and organisers are not left defending a judgement call from the stage.
Do rewards work for virtual and hybrid events?
Yes. Points are triggered by activity in the platform, not by physical presence, so a remote attendee watching a stream and answering polls earns on the same terms as someone in the room. That is usually where rewards pay off most — a virtual audience has nothing stopping it from closing the tab, and a live leaderboard gives it a reason to stay.
Can sponsors and exhibitors be part of the rewards programme?
Yes, and it is one of the easier things to sell into a sponsorship package. Points can be awarded for visiting a booth or engaging with sponsor content, which drives measurable footfall, and sponsors can fund the reward catalogue so their brand is attached to what attendees actually win. Both the traffic and the redemptions are reportable back to the sponsor through exhibitor and sponsor management.
Do attendees need to download an app to collect rewards?
No. Rewards, points and the leaderboard live in the same web-based attendee experience used for the rest of the event, and are also available in the EventTitans mobile app for organisers who want one. Nothing has to be installed for someone to start earning.
Is the rewards engine included in the price?
You can create an event and start awarding rewards without paying upfront. Which plan includes which engagement features, along with transaction-fee options, is set out in full on the EventTitans pricing page.
