We have GISday coming up in November and we're doing a medium-sized event at my company. Last year we did a Name-That-Place competition and gave away some pretty decent prizes. This year we'll do the same but also want to add a couple more activities.

We plan on doing a Session Raffle, so that people who attend most of our sessions automagically get entered to win a prize. I'm trying to think of an activity that will get people engaged with out solution demonstrations as well. I thought about perhaps a StoryMap competition or a Hackathon, but would like to know what kinds of other contests and activities other folks do. I also thought about a Geocache but that's really hard to pull off without distracting from the event.
