To help boost attendee engagement and increase the number of session reviews, SpreaView offers a Prize Draw feature. This feature allows organizers to incentivize attendees to leave feedback by offering a chance to win a prize.

How It Works

When enabled, the Prize Draw feature automatically tracks which attendees qualify based on two criteria:

  1. They have left feedback for a minimum number of sessions.
  2. They have entered their name when submitting feedback.

At the end of your event, you can easily run a random draw to select winners from all qualifying reviewers.

Enabling the Prize Draw

To set up a prize draw for your conference, go to the Conference Settings page and configure the following:

1. Swag Requirement Threshold

  • This is the minimum number of reviews an attendee must leave to qualify.
  • Set this value to any number greater than 0 to enable the prize draw.
  • For example, if the threshold is set to 5, only attendees who submit feedback for at least 5 sessions will be eligible.

2. Ask Attendees for Their Names

  • This option must be enabled to collect identifiable names with the feedback.
  • Without a name, reviewers cannot be included in the draw.

⚠️ Both settings must be enabled. If the swag threshold is 0 or name collection is turned off, the prize draw feature is not available.

Running the Prize Draw

Once your event has ended, you can initiate the prize draw:

  1. Go to the Conference Details page.

  2. Click the “Prize draw” button (visible only if the feature is enabled).

  3. SpreaView will randomly select one attendee from the list of those who:

    • Provided a name.
    • Left at least the required number of reviews.

The result will show:

  • ✅ The attendee’s name — which can be called out on stage.
  • 📱 A QR code — which the attendee can scan to confirm their win and identity.

This makes it easy to verify winners live, on-site.

Note that SpreaView values anonymous feedback and thus all entered feedback cannot be tracked back to an individual. There are scenarios where scanning the QR code returns a negative result. Although this should not be a common scenario, organizers must realize it is indeed possible.

Benefits of Using Prize Draws

Summary

  • Set a Swag Requirement Threshold (>0) to enable the prize draw.
  • Enable “Ask attendees for their names” in the conference settings.
  • After the event, use the Prize draw button on the conference details page to select a winner.
  • SpreaView displays the winner’s name and a QR code for on-site verification.
