Sharpcoding
Rome 27.02.2026
Sharp Coding 2026 was the reference event for the developer community in Rome, hosted at the prestigious Microsoft headquarters. A day full of technical talks, networking, and innovation, where over 250 professionals shared ideas, experiences, and new technologies in a stimulating and collaborative environment.
From a silent crowd to a vibrant networking ecosystem
In a context of excellence like the Microsoft headquarters in Rome, Sharp Coding 2026 faced the challenge of connecting over 250 software professionals. The mission was clear: go beyond traditional networking and transform every attendee into an active protagonist of the event.
The challenge
Sharp Coding Rome presented a unique challenge: how to keep attendees engaged and active not only during the talks, but for the entire duration of the event? The organizers needed to:
-
Maximize participation: fill the rooms during keynotes and main talks.
-
Get real feedback: collect structured data on speakers and content naturally.
-
Combat the drop in attention: ensure attendees remained engaged until the event closed.
-
Differentiate: offer an innovative experience never seen before in a coding event.
The solution
For the first time, we implemented BizzyMagic, a gamification layer inspired by "Magic: The Gathering" designed to activate people.
-
KPI-Driven Gamification: We transformed the organizer's goals into an immersive and fun game.
-
The Custom Deck: Each attendee interacted with a "deck" of thematic cards designed to stimulate engagement.
