For example, browsing content at a virtual booth can earn 10 points whereas talking to a real-time exhibitor in a meaningful way can earn 20 points. Tuning into panel discussions will give you 30 points. Some QR codes can be tough to find. (Be sure to look at all virtual booths or ask questions at the end of a live chat.) Please note that not all live chats and booths will have QR codes available. The distribution of QR codes is at the discretion of the exhibitors.
