Chats, polls, quizzes, etc.
One of the keys to a successful and engaging event is to make participants feel involved. To do so, Coeo offers a variety of tools to make your voice heard in different ways.
All tools are designed to work equally well for digital participants on desktop, as well as on mobile for on-site participants. The amount of functionality used depends on the implementation you choose - physical, digital or hybrid.
For each broadcast there is an open chat, where everyone can write and read. It is usually used between participants to discuss a topic, but also to express appreciation to a speaker by sending engaging emojis. It may be wise to have your own "chat host", which can be involved in discussions and tie together the whole of different expressions.
Some times, a speaker has been pre-recorded, but has then been present in the chat during playback to answer questions in real time.
To create an easy and orderly way to ask and receive questions, you can write directly to the moderator. These are messages that can only be read by selected people, who then choose which ones are suitable to pick up in the live broadcast.
It resembles a handshake, but with the advantage that everyone gets to ask their question and the moderator has the opportunity to choose from the most relevant.
The questions that the speakers do not have time to answer during the broadcast can be answered digitally in the chat/forum. This creates a better opportunity for dialogue than in the time-pressed programme points.
If you tested Mentimeter, there is a built-in version of it in Coeo. A moderator controls when all participants get a poll, which allows all participants to respond very quickly and produce a result.
The result can be displayed as a bar chart either in broadcast, or on a screen on the Stage.
Create a fun quiz with automatic scoreboard and Top-10 list, where you can hand out prizes to the winners.
Flexible buttons and integrations
To all programme points, you can tie buttons that only appear during the live broadcast. In this way, you can plan other types of interactivity. Our customers have used it to direct people to sponsors, link to different zoom rooms, create image contests in external forms, etc.
Networking between participants
Most conferences and events that choose to publish the list of participants. Participants at these events are given the opportunity to create a personal profile to network with other participants. One can exchange business cards to get contact details and chat personally between each other.
Mingleand conversation room
If you want to create even more dialog, there are conversation rooms. and mingle rooms as a function. These come in several variants - as break-out with random distribution, with preselected distribution. Open during specified times or specific times. Coeo recommends scheduling conversation rooms into the program for best results.
Questions & answers and forum discussions
Collecting answers to questions is an effective way to make participants feel involved. It can be tips for upcoming content and program items as well as specific questions directed to specific speakers. Let us tell you more!
