3 Ways to Use Gaming at Your Next Event

3 Ways to Use Gaming at Your Next Event Considering that over 150 million Americans* regularly play video games, bringing that excitement to your event should be at the top of your to-do list! Gamification is not overrated, but is often underused. Here are three intriguing ways to use gaming at your next event: Implement a Scavenger Hunt to navigate attendees through your conference space. Want your attendees to visit exhibitor booths? Incentivize and give them a reason. Attendees can use the JUJAMA app to find and scan items that are part of a scavenger hunt to earn points and land them a top-ranking spot on the leaderboard. As a bonus to you, ask exhibitors to pay for this extra traffic! Use In-App gaming to engage users and focus their interest on important in-app information If your event’s priority is networking , get your attendees “Making Moves” — adding points to in-app actions, like scheduling meetings or completing their profile, can motivate users to visit certain area...

New Year, New You, New JUJAMA App!

New Year, New You, New JUJAMA App! Nah…It doesn’t rhyme or have alliteration going for it, but it sure is exciting! While there’s been a lot going on in the event app industry, with Apple’s guideline changes and the new “container” app model picking up steam, JUJAMA decided now is the time to release Version 4.0 of our app — including a complete redesign of our user experience to make our features even more attendee-friendly.  And, what’s a redesign without some exciting new features and tools? One of the biggest questions we hear from our clients is, “how do we better engage our attendees?” Our fresh, new dashboard option with engagement cards brings the information directly to the attendees — no searching necessary. When a user lands on the social feed, they’re presented with a series of cards holding useful information — a conference admin announcement, a message from a potential business partner, an important meeting invitation to respond to, etc. Better yet, an at...

Cutting-Edge Technologies

Cutting-Edge Technologies JUJAMA is now 8 years into building web based conference and event software and nearly 7 years into building conference apps . We were the first at the web and very early in mobile app solutions!

JUJAMA to Introduce Universal App – Apple Guidelines Update

JUJAMA to Introduce Universal App – Apple Guidelines Update There has been a lot said and written about Apple recently changing their app submission guidelines regarding apps that have similar functionality or those that are based off similar code. ( Guidelines 4.2.6 and 4.3 ) This change has impacted (or will shortly) many different app vendors that specialize in white label apps, verticals, or app generation. Apple now requires that app providers create a single app to house all events (which they refer to as a “container app”). The only exceptions to this are: 1. Apps that are completely built from the ground up for each event and whose feature set represents a significant deviation from the standard feature set. 2. “Container” apps for enterprise level customers running multiple events JUJAMA has discussed these changes with Apple Representatives over the last few months and we are implementing a “container” or universal app as required by Apple. This app will allow our custome...
