Entering an EQL launch at an event? Here’s how to make sure your entry counts

If you’re at an event with exclusive launches powered by EQL, you’ll want to make sure your entry has its very best chance of being selected. Many EQL event launches prioritize in-person attendees, meaning only those physically present have a chance at being selected. So, to be considered, you must have location sharing enabled before submitting your entry.

Here’s how to do that:

How to enable location sharing on your phone

For iPhone users

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Privacy & Security > Location Services.
3. Ensure Location Services is turned on (toggle at the top).
4. Scroll down and find your browser (e.g., Safari, Chrome).
5. Tap it and set Allow Location Access while using the app or ask next time or when I share.

For extra accuracy:

• Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services and enable Wi-Fi Networking & Bluetooth.

For Android Users

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Location and ensure it’s turned on.
3. Tap App permissions (or App access to location).
4. Find your browser (e.g., Chrome).
5. Select Allow only while using the app.

How to enter an EQL launch at an event

Once your location sharing settings are enabled, you’re ready to enter. Here’s what to do:

1. Find the QR code for the launch – Depending on the event, you should see launch posters with QR codes for any active EQL launches. These are usually near the product display or main entrance.
2. Scan the QR code – Open your camera app and scan the code. Tap the link that appears and it will take you the launch entry page.
3. Allow for location sharing - If asked, make sure you click to "Allow location sharing" so EQL can ensure you are onsite and eligible to participate.
4. Submit your entry – Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account and/or submit your entry, ensuring your details are correct.
5. Wait for results – If your entry is selected, you’ll receive an email with detailed pickup instructions for your product. It’s important to read the instructions carefully to ensure you don’t miss out on your pickup window. If your entry is not selected, you’ll also receive an email letting you know, and wishing you better luck on the next launch!

It’s simple as that. With location sharing on, you’re set up for a fair shot at exclusive launches while enjoying your event.

Best of luck! 🚀
