    They give exhibitors the opportunity to have attendees seek out their space and come to their area. We strategize participation, helping foot traffic . The movement to boosts visibility and leads engagement.

  • What is a Stamp/Sticker Rally?

    An attendee receives a card used to acquire stamps from exhibitors. The attendee finds several different participating exhibitor booth spaces and typically completes a task to acquire a stamp from each exhibitor.

  • Can I have Ribbons to give out without having a game or task?

    Yes, That would be awesome too! The game or task part of Ribbon games is not mandatory. Some vendors/artists at cons include a ribbon with purchases and sometimes they pass them out too.
