Nerdland Festival
Nerdland Festival is the largest science festival in the Benelux, attracting over 25.000 visitors during a multi-day
program packed with talks, shows and workshops.
To support the crowd with practical information — without overwhelming the communication team — Nerdland
looked for a smart, scalable solution.
Challenge
From questions about schedules and speakers to directions, accessibility and weather updates, the info demand was massive. The goal was to deploy a conversational assistant that could handle real-time questions, reduce repetitive workload and still feel personal.
Solution
Wichelen launched TamTam: a 24/7 WhatsApp assistant for automated municipal support.
It provides instant answers, shares official info, routes complex questions to the right department, and checks in with residents when needed.
