Money Raised for Temple Street
Techies4TempleStreet is Ireland’s first ever charity event uniting the technology community, it’s trusted advisors and partners, to network and compete in an intellectually challenging treasure trail while making an impact to the lives of the next generation of techies. The first Techies4TempleStreet event took place on 2nd October 2015 in Dublin and has raised in excess of €200,000 for Temple Street Hospital in its first annual event.
Having listened to the brief and the objectives Dynamic Events believed that the iTreasures Smartphone Treasure Hunt concept that had been in development by Dynamic Events for the previous 2 years could be used as the foundation to making this a successful event.
Event Process
After many meetings and brainstorming sessions the event was planned across different sections with several ingredients required to make the event work
- Source a Suitable Venue
- Design a suitable AV plan for the room
- Plan suitable catering needs for 1,000 people
- Dress the room appropriately taking into account the budget.
- Design a fun, social, tech orientated competitive treasure hunt
The smartphone treasure hunt itself was made up of three sections.
Section 1 – Twitter Challenge
Section 2 – Treasure Hunt
Section 3 – Interactive Bonus Locations to include technology such Periscope, Magic Photos, Heads Up as well as a mix of interactive traditional Team Games and interactive bonus characters.
Technology Used
• Twitter
• Periscope
• Magic Photos
• Heads Up
• Strea.ma
Pre Event
Having put the appropriate procedures in place we would talk to teams via twitter and also broadcast live periscopes for live Q & A sessions ahead of the event. This was very interactive.

- Event Furniture to include 100 spandex covered pod tables
- VIP Area complete with Geodesic Dome, LED Bar, furniture, picket fence, carpet, props and registration area
- Event Signage

Guests were given a schedule in advance of the event. People arrived to the RDS for 2:00pm. On arrival guests could view their tweets and photos on a 30 foot screen that we had in place. This allowed any tweet connected to the event hashtag or handle to be streamed live on the screen. This was hugely interactive. At 2:30pm Team Leaders were invited to a briefing room where we explained how the event would work and to answer any final questions. Here each team was provided with a map, booklet, pen, clipboard and selfie stick. After this the teams that had gathered in the main hall departed the RDS through a giant inflatable Archway. We even had 2 x Tuk Tuks to take the highest fundraising team on a head start ahead of the rest of the teams.
Congratulations to @CitrixSMBUK you were the best fundraising team!! Enjoy the Tuck Tuck! #T4TS pic.twitter.com/WCIoYfPmZT
