Gamification
Talk to exhibitors and earn points to win nice prizes!
Get ready for an exciting experience at BCF Career Event! We have implemented a gamification program to enhance your visit and make your conversations even more fun and engaging. By visiting our exhibitors’ stands and engaging with them, you collect points. How? After your conversation, you simply ask for and scan the unique company QR code with the Event App. Follow the steps below to see where you can scan the QR codes. You can also earn points by attending presentations. You simply open the app in the session room (note that you do need to allow the app acces to your location for this).

In the meantime, we are counting the points! At the end of the day, the 10 visitors with the most points can receive a nice gift which can be picked up at the Exhibitors & Speakers registration desk at 16.30 hrs.

This new feature is designed to increase your engagement and interaction with the exhibitors while boosting your fun factor. So, grab your phone and start exploring the exhibition floor.

Don’t forget to scan the QR codes of the companies to collect as many points as you can and increase your chances of winning prizes!

Tips & Tricks

⇒ Show your QR code to exhibitors to share your contact details.

⇒ Upload your CV on BCF Career & sign-up for the job alert: by uploading your CV you can be found by recruiters and companies who use your CV database. You can upload your CV here and sign up for the job alert to stay up-to-date about new vacancies!
⇒ Make a 'must-connect' list: decide upfront which employers you want to speak to and check which vacancies they currently have.
⇒ Prepare an elevator pitch: can you introduce yourself in 1 minute? Practice your elevator pitch, a 1-minute speech in which you present yourself and explain what you are looking for. This will give a well-prepared impression!
⇒ First impressions: first impressions are important, especially at a one-day event where recruiters talk to many people. Leave a good first impression by looking representable (dress as you would for a job interview) and be aware of your body language.
