The Story – Engagement Has Evolved
In a world where everyone has a phone in their hand and a camera in their pocket, traditional live events just don’t cut it. Today’s audiences expect more—they want to participate, personalize, and share experiences in real-time. That’s where Interactive Dallas comes in.

We specialize in turning event attendees into active participants through immersive tech-driven experiences like AI photo booths, hologram stations, LED walls, and digital graffiti. And we don’t just say it works—we can prove it.
People Remember What They Feel
When guests interact, their emotional investment skyrockets. Research shows that interactivity—especially when layered with real-time feedback and gamification—increases trust, attention, and emotional memory (Robin Waite, 2023).
Whether it's transforming into an AI-generated pirate or painting a logo on a digital wall, Interactive Dallas activations spark joy, surprise, and connection—all emotions that make your brand unforgettable.
Trust – Backed by Research & Proven ROI
Here’s what the research says:
A 2023 study published on ResearchGate introduced the EPL model—Engagement, Participation, and Liveness—as the critical trio for designing interactive event experiences (Gomes et al., 2023).
Gamification and real-time feedback loops (e.g., polls, live results, interactive challenges) measurably increase attention spans, message retention, and emotional connection (Pavegen & Robin Waite).
81% of event planners now use live polling and audience interaction to boost engagement and track ROI (Markletic.com).
Interactive Dallas designs every activation around these insights—so your brand doesn’t just get seen, it gets remembered.
Tech – How Interactive Dallas Brings Engagement to Life
We blend research-backed strategies with cutting-edge tech to deliver unforgettable guest experiences. Some of our most engaging activations include:
