The Digital Dash has Concluded!
Congratulations to our 10 winners, who took home a variety of prizes, including FREE conference registration and hotel accommodations at a future conference. We hope to see you again at Congressional City Conference in Washington, DC March 10-12!
How it Works
Scan all 15 QR codes
located throughout the conference and answer the questions, then hit submit.
Earn 100 points for each question you answer
(don’t worry if you don’t get it correct, the points are for participation).
1,500 points means you found them all —
if you have 1,400 points or more, you’re entered to win a prize.
Attend the closing General Session
on Saturday to be present for the drawing.
Cross your fingers
and hope you win!

How do the points work?
Participants earn 100 points per question answered. The only exception is that participants answer the two questions for one QR code at the General Session — each one in the first general session is worth 50 points. Participants will answer a total of 16 questions for 1500 points total.
To be entered to win, you need to earn 1500 points total, 100 points per stop on the Digital Dash.
How do I know how many points I have?
Each time you scan a code, you can see your point total in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. You can also search for your name on the leaderboard as well.

What kind of prizes could I win?
Participants who successfully locate all 15 QR codes, scan them, and answer the questions are entered in a drawing. Winners drawn at random could win FREE registration to a future NLC Congressional City Conference or City Summit!
I have a question up and the button to submit disappeared. What do I do?
Sometimes the button times out when it’s on a screen for too long. Refresh the page and it should show back up!
I tried to scan the code at the General Session but it didn’t work. Can I find it somewhere else?
Come to Ask NLC on the 2nd level to scan any QR codes you missed from the General Sessions!
