Event hosts can use walls at locations such as hallways, lobby areas, and cafeterias, or as the stage backdrop or entrance of the event.

Instagram Wall As An Information Board 

During events, much information gets lost due to the scattered crowd. Making announcements is a doable way, but it is not much effective because of the unattentiveness of the audience. 

Instagram wall can serve as an information board for events. Hosts can sync it to their Instagram account, and as Instagram walls work in real-time, hosts can post the information on their Instagram story or post about it and can display it on preferred digital screens to pass on the important information. 

A Dedicated Space For Sponsors 

Giving your event’s sponsors a dedicated space is always an impressive move. Hosts can display the sponsor’s social media posts on the Instagram wall, feature their announcements and run tickers of special announcements. 

This way, you can make the sponsors feel seen and keep them under the spotlight during the event. 

By dedicating a space for your sponsors, you can also achieve more than just the sponsor’s appreciation. It can also help you market your event to a wider audience. 

Instagram Wall To Boost Engagement

Instagram walls are extremely compelling to look at. Hence they can also considerably improve the event’s engagement. Hosts can use Instagram walls to display interactive sessions like Q&A rounds and polls which they can host in real time on their Instagram.

This is also a great way to inspire more audiences to post about your event, as people love to be seen and feel appreciated for participating in an activity. 

Wrapping It Up

What a perfect Instagram wall is can differ for every brand depending on the requirement and how the hosts want to leverage it.
