Conference Games That Engage, Energise and Connect
Conferences are no longer just about presentations and panel sessions. Delegates expect interaction, energy, and moments that break up long agendas. Expo Play supplies engaging Conference Games that help organisers create memorable experiences, encourage networking, and keep attendees focused and involved throughout the day.
Why Games Work at Conferences
Conferences often involve long periods of sitting, listening, and absorbing information. Well-chosen games introduce movement, light competition, and conversation starters that re-energise the room. Whether placed in networking zones, breakout areas, or sponsor spaces, games help attendees relax, connect, and engage more naturally with your brand or message.
Games Designed for Professional Environments
Conference entertainment needs to feel polished, appropriate, and purposeful. Our range includes games that are visually smart, quick to play, and easy to integrate into formal settings:
- Strike a Light 2 Players – ideal for short, high-energy challenges between sessions.
- Giant Buzz Wire – a proven icebreaker that encourages laughter and conversation.
- Crack the Safe – perfect for prize draws, sponsor engagement, or competition-based lead capture.
- Giant Jenga – relaxed, social gameplay that works well in networking lounges.
- Giant Connect Four – informal and inclusive, suitable for mixed-age and mixed-role audiences.
Supporting Sponsors and Partners
Conference sponsors are increasingly looking for interactive ways to engage delegates. Our Custom Branded Games allow sponsors to place their branding directly onto gameplay surfaces, leaderboards, and surrounding structures. This turns each game into a live sponsor activation rather than a static logo or banner.
Conference Games for Lead Generation
Games can also serve a practical business purpose. Using our Prize Games, organisers and sponsors can encourage delegates to take part in competitions that capture contact details, scan badges, or enter digital prize draws. This approach increases participation while delivering measurable outcomes after the event.
Flexible Layouts for Any Conference Space
Conference venues vary widely, from exhibition halls and hotel ballrooms to theatres and breakout rooms. Our games are selected and positioned to suit the available space, footfall flow, and audience size. We regularly support events at venues such as Exhibition Hire in the Manchester Central Convention Complex, Exhibition Hire at the ICC Birmingham, and Exhibition Hire at the ExCeL London.
Encouraging Networking and Team Interaction
Games naturally remove barriers between attendees. Light-hearted competition encourages conversation between people who may not otherwise interact, making our conference games ideal for networking sessions, welcome drinks, and post-session downtime. For internal events, games can also support Team Building objectives without feeling forced or overly structured.
Professional Setup and Event Support
Expo Play manages delivery, setup, and breakdown, ensuring minimal disruption to conference schedules. Our equipment is maintained to high standards, PAT tested where required, and supported by full public liability insurance. On-site staff can be provided to manage gameplay and assist delegates throughout the event.
Enhancing the Delegate Experience
Ultimately, conference games help transform events from information-heavy schedules into well-rounded experiences. By giving delegates something interactive to enjoy between sessions, you increase dwell time, improve satisfaction, and create moments people remember long after the final keynote.
