How to use Flockler in events

Live social walls energize any event—from conferences and trade shows to weddings and fundraisers. Showing attendee posts in real time boosts engagement and extends your reach beyond the venue.

With Flockler, you can easily collect posts from social platforms or directly from attendees, display them on screens or your event site, and keep everything on‑brand and safe with built‑in moderation.

How to Collect Content at Your Event

You have two ways to gather content - use one or both, depending on your audience.

Perfect for conferences, trade shows, and public events where attendees are already on social media.

Set it up:

Go to Feeds in Flockler and click [Add new automated feed]. Learn more about Feed here

Choose your source: Instagram, Facebook, X, Youtube or Blusky

Enter your event hashtag or account mentions

Enable moderation so you approve posts before they display

Save, and you're collecting automatically

Option 2: Direct Photo/Video Submissions

Perfect for events where not everyone uses social media, or when you want content that stays within your organization.

Set it up:

Create a Custom Form in Flockler where visitors can upload photos and videos. Learn more about Custom Forms here

Generate a QR code for the form. How to do so?

Publish your custom form on a page (your website, event microsite, or a simple hosted page).

Copy the URL of that page.

Use any QR code generator (e.g., QRCode Monkey, Canva, or your event platform) and paste the URL.

Download the QR code and place it on screens, badges, signage, etc.

Attendees scan, upload, and submit instantly—no social login required

Review submissions in moderation before publishing

How to Display Content on Screens

Flockler offers two layouts designed specifically for event screens:

Social Wall

Layout showing multiple posts at once. Great for high-volume events where you want to showcase the breadth of participation. Updates automatically every 5 minutes.

If you are expecting a massive volume of posts within 5 minutes and need faster updates, please get in touch with us via live chat at the bottom right corner of the page or send us an email to team@flockler.com

Slideshow

One post at a time, rotating through content. Perfect for keynotes, award ceremonies, or anywhere you want to focus on individual posts. Updates after each rotation.

Setting Up Your Event Display

1. Create your layout

Go to Display → Create New Layout → Choose Social Wall or Slideshow → Display on Digital Screen

2. Select your content sources

When creating a feed or a custom form, you had the option to add content to a section or create a new one. A section works like a folder where you store, organise, and adjust content.

Please note that your display pulls content from the section—not directly from the feed or form configuration. Learn more about Sections here

Choose which sections to display - your event hashtag, custom form submissions, or both. You can mix multiple sources in one display.

3. Customize the look

Click Edit Style & Settings to:

Add your event logo and colors, and upload a background image or branded template

Adjust how many posts show at once (Wall only)
Set rotation speed (Slideshow only)
Use custom CSS for advanced styling

4. Launch on your screen

Flockler gives you a unique display link. Open it on any device connected to your digital screen - laptop, media player, or presentation system. No manual refreshing needed; it updates automatically.
