11 February 26 - Looking for Conference Games in the UK? Choose Awesome Hire!

Whether you’re running a leadership summit in a city centre hotel, a multi-day industry conference with exhibitors, or a regional training day with breakout sessions, the same problem appears: how do you get delegates to engage during the gaps in the agenda?

Awesome Hire supplies Conference Games across the UK, with professional delivery, setup and collection. We focus on games that suit conference environments: tidy footprints, short play cycles, clear scoring, and options that can support sponsor visibility, networking, or lead capture.

What “conference-friendly” entertainment actually means

Conference games are not about filling a room with noise. They’re about adding structured interaction in the places conferences naturally have energy: registration areas, coffee breaks, sponsor zones, evening receptions and networking lounges.

That is why our conference setups typically lean on reaction games, compact prize mechanics and social table games. You get a clear reason to participate, without turning the event into a distraction from speakers, panels or workshops.

Games that work almost anywhere

If you want a safe starting point for most conference venues, these tend to perform well:

Fast reaction challenges

Batak Lite Hire, Strike A Light Game and Catch It Reaction Ring suit stands and breakout zones where you want quick participation.

Prize mechanics for sponsor areas

Plinko Game and Custom Spin The Wheel are straightforward to run and easy to tie to badge scans or short forms.

Social games for networking

Foosball Table, Subsoccer 3 Football Game and Ping Pong Table Hire help keep people in the room after sessions.

For conferences with a bigger exhibition element, the same approach scales up with higher-visibility options such as Batak Pro Game Hire, Ballnado Grabber, Cash Grabber and Money Machine Hire.

Lead capture and conference ROI

A lot of conference organisers and exhibitors want engagement they can measure. That could be leads for sales teams, CVs for recruitment, sign-ups for a webinar, or simply proof that the sponsor zone got footfall.

We often pair conference games with simple lead capture mechanics so participation supports a business outcome. If you’re building a sponsor activation, it’s worth looking at Lead Generation & Data Capture, and for recruitment-focused events, Recruitment Fairs also overlaps neatly with conference use.

Where you want a more considered interaction that buys time for conversation, Custom Branded Crack The Code Safe Cracker is useful. For higher-throughput prize formats, Plinko Game and Custom Spin The Wheel are easy to staff and keep moving.

Conference games across the UK

We provide nationwide coverage and have dedicated pages for many regions. If you’re planning a multi-location programme, these pages can be used to brief stakeholders, venues and internal teams.

And if your event moves between regions, we can keep the activation consistent across dates, venues and stand sizes. That can be as simple as repeating a reliable core setup (for example Batak Lite Hire plus Plinko Game) or scaling the same idea up and down depending on space.

How to choose the right setup for your conference

If you have a small sponsor space or a 3m stand

Keep it compact and obvious. Catch It Reaction Ring and Batak Lite Hire work well in tight footprints. Add Plinko Game if you want a clear “enter to win” mechanic.

If you’re also planning exhibition activity, Games For Exhibition Stands under 3m is a useful companion category.

If you expect high footfall during breaks

Prioritise throughput and fast resets. Strike A Light Game and Custom Spin The Wheel keep queues moving. If you want a visible centrepiece, Ballnado Grabber can help attract attention from distance.

For this scenario, Games For High Footfall Events can also help shape the shortlist.

If you want relaxed networking rather than queues

Use social games to keep people nearby and talking. Foosball Table, Subsoccer 3 Football Game and Ping Pong Table Hire work well in lounges and evening receptions.

Where the audience is very formal, you can keep it subtle and still effective with Custom Branded Crack The Code Safe Cracker.

Branding, visuals and consistency

Conference activations often need to look like part of the brand, not a bolt-on. If you are building a sponsor package or a repeatable campaign across multiple events, it’s worth considering branded variants such as Batak Lite Hire - Bespoke Branded, Batak Pro Game Hire - Bespoke Branded, Plinko Game - Bespoke Branded, Cash Grabber Hire - Bespoke Branded and Ballnado Grabber Hire - Bespoke Branded.

For this side of conference planning, Bespoke Custom Branding is the best place to start. It helps you think about visuals, brand consistency and what is realistic within venue constraints and setup timelines.

Booking conference games

If you tell us the venue, the size of your sponsor or networking area, and what you want from the activation (footfall, lead capture, networking, or a bit of everything), we can recommend a practical setup and a delivery plan. For organisers juggling multiple venues, we can also advise on a consistent core kit that travels well from one conference date to the next.
