Kick-Point at the Spobis 2009

With 1,550 participants, 160 speakers, more than 50 active congress partners and 20 specialist subject forums, the ISPO SpoBiS has developed into Europe’s largest sport business congress.

Due to the new congress structure introduced a few years ago, with specialist subject forums taking place simultaneously, a large spectrum of subjects could be covered during the two-day congress. The variety of subjects covered during the forums ranged from “Football Events” to “Sport and Law”, “Merchandising and Licensing” and “Hospitality” to “Innovative Sponsoring” and “Sporting Bets”.

Kick-Point GmbH presented the Kick-Point electronic football game (used to measure the precision and speed of goal shots) for any type of event with a 50m2 stand as partner of esb-online. Due to the cooperation with Kyocera, all congress participants could win high-quality Kyocera prizes at the Kick-Point.

The fact that the Kick-Point was still crowded once the congress had already ended, even though the “Get Together” had already started, once again goes to show what an important role this football attraction equipment can play to increase the attractiveness of events of this kind and of general football events.
“You enriched our congress and your football goal really attracted an audience” Jonathan Grüninger – esb online – quoted.

ARA School tour with Kick-Point in 2008

Edutainment (Education & Entertainment) was the goal set by ARA– Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (Waste Recycling Austria AG). Edutainment was used in different schools in Austria to present a combination of entertaining but educating elements, explaining the concepts of environment and recycling to the children in an entertaining way.
The electronic Kick-Point goal was incorporated into the event concept and road show because the Kick-Point guarantees football fun as well as offering interactive quiz varieties which can be integrated as “Question and Answer Games”.
A specific question about the environment or recycling was generated by the automatic football quiz every time a pupil took a shot at goal. The pupils could double their goal shot points every time they answered a question correctly. Hands-on fun could be combined with educational explanations in this way.

Best of Events 2010
Kick-Point fun and football, now in its eighth year, presented its electronic football concept at the “Best of Events” in the Dortmund Westfalenhallen.
9,100 visitors came to Dortmund to visit the BEST OF EVENTS.
Trade fair visitors, exhibitors and Kick-Point GmbH were satisfied with the premiere of the international trade fair.
2009 was rather a mixed year for events. However, all signs for 2010 point towards a year of growth for football events.
The Kick-Point stand was the scene of many discussions with companies and agencies which were interested in 2010 World Cup promotions, road shows or fan parks. This was a good perspective not only against the background of the 2010 World Cup but also the 2011 Ladies World Cup in Germany and the 2012 European Cup in Poland and the Ukraine.

BoE organizer Bea Nöhre looked back on a very positive premiere in Dortmund: “We received very positive feedback from the exhibitors and visitors about our new concept for Dortmund. Our customers particularly commended the generous amount of space available and the successful distribution of the presentation stands”. The participants particularly mentioned the better overview given by the visitor channeling through halls 4, 7 and 8, including the wider aisles.

There were a total of 473 exhibitors at the fair in Dortmund with a net space of 11,500m2. This represented a huge increase compared with the World of Events which took place one year previously in Wiesbaden.

The newly created software connection between the Kick-Point electronic football goal and the internet was a novelty at the Kick-Point stand this year. In this way, the Kick-Point module guarantees a long-lasting effect for customers and audiences. Event visitors wishing to demonstrate the precision and speed of their shots were able to access their own results from a homepage in the customer’s corporate design.

Kick-Point goes on a stadium tour with the T-Mobile Quiz Kick

T-Mobile Austria once again chose Kick-Point as partner during the T-Mobile Football Stadium Tour. The league sponsor T-Mobile Austria set the goal to visit a different Austrian football station every match day, in order to communicate the range of T-Mobile brands, products and services as part of the stadium events.
T-Mobile chose to use the Kick-Point Quiz option during these events. This game is not only about the precision and speed of goal shots. It also tests participants’ product and football knowledge.
A question about football or about the T-Mobile products and services appears on the screen following every successful goal shot. If the participant answers the question correctly he doubles his goal shot points.
This Kick-Point electronic goal game concept, which combines football fun with general knowledge in a playful manner, also gives the organiser the opportunity to transport its information and advertisements in a playful manner.
T-Mobile Austria used to use classic football modules such as Speed Kick and Speed Soccer before it discovered Kick-Point for its stadium tours.
