GAMIFICATION
At the 26th Asia-Pacific Regional Social Work Conference 2021, we have designed an innovative and engaging Gamification competition for all attendees. You can earn points for simply watching abstract presentations, or visiting an exhibitor booth for example.
Gamification is the process through which a conference attendee earns points by completing certain actions while attending the Conference. These actions are things you would normally do at a conference anyway, except why not be rewarded for it?
