The Power of Interactive Media

2010June8Interactive
Redefine audience engagement with the power of interactive media.

Interactive, personalized emails, micro sites and landing pages move beyond promotion to gather market research, capture individual attendee preferences or even schedule participant appointments with event staff. Touch screen kiosks offer the ability to tailor presentations to a specific audience segment. Tablet platforms provide highly mobile solutions that let you take your message wherever your audience goes. Quizzes, games and competitions extend participant interaction, turning seconds-long impressions into immersive experiences that last ten minutes, twenty minutes or more. Demographic data and qualifying information gathered along the way provide valuable metrics for post-event follow up by the sales team. Suddenly, audience engagement is fun again.

Audience Response Systems

Business Directions

Capture and measure important participant feedback with an Audience Response System.

Wireless keypad systems create more meaningful and interactive meetings, conferences, trade shows and training sessions. Engaging participants in shared information and collaborative formats dramatically increases audience attention and comprehension. Real time monitoring of audience opinions transforms one-sided presentations into two way dialogues and improves speaker effectiveness. Back end data capture provides critical tracking and reporting of significant event outcomes.

Whether you’re educating trade show attendees at a product launch, voting on a course of action at a corporate meeting, or enlivening an event with a team-based competition, audience response system rentals are some of the most efficient, powerful and versatile learning and entertainment tools available today.

Executive Speaker Coaching

2009Sage User Grp

Executive speaker coaching helps corporate presenters master the podium.

User group conferences, sales meetings and trade shows provide plenty of opportunity for executive presentations. Unfortunately, not all presenters rise to the occasion with an appropriate level of persuasive power.

A small investment in executive speaker coaching pays big dividends in performance impact. Corporate presenters learn how to build clear, concise, audience friendly content. They discover the importance of approaching the dais with confidence, connecting on a personal level with the audience, and communicating ideas with clarity and credibility. Ultimately, they feel the exhilaration of infusing each speaking engagement with their own unique personality.

Virtual Events

Traditional event models don’t work for all audiences all the time.

Connecting with geographically dispersed and increasingly budget challenged audiences requires new models for corporate event marketers. Enter the virtual events solution.

Virtual meetings and events provide a new measure of convenience, flexibility, immediacy and personal relevance to the corporate event portfolio. Online virtual events utilize rich media including video, audio and animation all within an immersive 3D graphic environment. More than replicating the face-to-face experience, virtual events expand and extend accessibility to audiences that might otherwise might not be able to participate.

Measurement

2009Dec8eTip Small

Skillful measurement does more than validate your success. Well-planned evaluation strategies reveal unexpected opportunities and identify unrealized potential.

Consider pre- and post-event surveys to capture valuable benchmarking data. Use conference and session evaluations to fuel a process of continual improvement. Employ trade show booth audits and exit polls to generate competitive analyses and track visitor behavior.

Successful data mining takes comparatively little time and effort, but can yield significant rewards for your event portfolio. Click on the links below to view sample reports to jumpstart your own measurement program.
