Turning conference sprawl into a guided quest

Sibos brings together more than 10,100 participants, 130 exhibitors, and hundreds of sessions across one of finance's most demanding event environments. Innotribe needed a format that made exploration feel intentional rather than overwhelming.

POAP Studio translated that complexity into a mobile-first collectible journey, using NFC taps, QR checkpoints, and visible host touchpoints to turn movement through the venue into trackable participation.

Making a large-format event feel navigable

The challenge was to guide attendees through 350+ sessions and multiple touchpoints without adding friction, while still meeting the trust and usability expectations of a conservative financial-services audience.

A tap-to-claim journey across the venue

01

Hosts and branded touchpoints introduced Innotribe Quest from high-traffic areas across Sibos.

02

Attendees tapped NFC kiosks or scanned QR checkpoints to claim collectibles and enter the collect-to-win mechanic.

03

The claim flow connected back to the Sibos app and social touchpoints, extending the experience beyond a single booth stop.

Innotribe Quest turned booth traffic into a measurable exploration loop, showing that even compliance-sensitive enterprise events can benefit from game mechanics when the flow stays frictionless.

Results

Enterprise events, made participatory

Guided more than 1,000 active participants through a large conference without requiring an app-first experience.
