How many of you have been to a conference session, the speaker is speaking, and all you’re thinking about is whether to pick up the kids before you go grocery shopping or go grocery shopping then pick up the kids? There’s nothing worse than being disengaged when someone is talking to you…or should I say “at” you.
I’m a huge proponent of audience interaction. Whether you’re speaking to 20 people or 2,000 people, you have to get them engaged. What better way to get someone’s attention than to incorporate them into what it is you’re discussing. That’s exactly the idea behind The Communicator.
The Communicator is an Audience Response System (ASR). It allows you to “capture input from the audience and instantly create impromptu questions for audience voting. Using the microphones and response system, a panel of experts can interact with the audience, soliciting information, knowledge and fresh ideas or questions otherwise missed. All meeting feedback can be gathered quickly and efficiently eliminating the need to take and collect paper surveys. Give an audience member a quick and easy way to offer feedback about a meeting or individual presentations while still fresh in their minds. Receive better and more complete feedback to better improve future meetings. All feedback can be broken down by demographics such as age, job description, region and more in a few minutes.”
Are you engaged?
