Get the Audience Actively Involved

Every day thousands of people attend events, conferences, training session, and business meetings. The main function of such events is to learn new information that can then be used in any business environment. The success of ensuring that these events are beneficial to the individuals that are in attendance is the interactivity among the group in terms of active engagement which affiliates honest feedback and opinions as well as determining understanding of the material covered.

One technology that is used a lot in this area of interactivity is an Audience Response System (ARS). This is a neat tool that allows the audience to have engagement with the speaker and to contribute to the session. All that is required is small hand held devices that the audience use and software that can integrate into any normal Power point Presentation. This helps get the audience actively involved in the entire session and therefore leads to a more productive and entertaining event.
