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?

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!

How can I learn more about doing my own Digital Dash in my community?
