Getting participants to contribute ideas and participate in discussions can often be a challenge for meeting leaders. Cultural barriers, insecurity, and fear of reprisal cause some participants to hold back on engagement. Over the years, our research has shown that an audience response system is one of the easiest and fastest ways to achieve interactivity in meetings.
If you have been tasked with organizing a meeting or event where participation is crucial, a response system can help you make it happen. By providing each participant with a handheld wireless keypad and posing questions to the audience as the meeting unfolds, you can achieve response rates greater than 95%. Participants will be more engaged and enthused about sharing their perspective. Discussion will increase along with the take away value of the event.
To make it easy to get started with an OptionPower response system, OTI offers turnkey rental packages. We provide an on-site expert to work with you before the event to integrate interactive question exercises into your agenda. He or she will show up on-site, set up the equipment, and rehearse with your presenters. Then, during the meeting, the consultant will run the technology and be available to make real time adjustments.
With a turnkey rental solution, you get all the benefits of an interactive meeting without having to hassle with the challenges of setting up and running the technology. It is a great way to learn more if you are considering purchase of a system for regular use.
OTI's expert consultants will work with you to plan, execute, and receive follow-up data from your interactive meeting.
