Learning meetings and conferences are about maximising the attendees' learning. Too many conferences are
packed with PowerPoint presentations that achieve too little because they render attendees passive and bored. A learning conference engages attendees in active interpretation of what they hear and helps them share knowledge with each other.Learning meetings must be facilitated carefully, so attendees feel they are being seen and heard.

Meeting Participation Technology

Interactivity has been a buzz word in the meetings industry since at least on decade. Sleeping participant must have been the flashing red light for meeting organisers and meeting planners. Even though napping has proven to be healthy, tiredness after lunch is normal and powernaps are a rage from Tokyo to New York, nobody likes it during their own meeting or conference.

Keeping the audience awake during presentations is one thing, but making the audience participate is a whole different ball game. Turning an audience into participants is key since it creates value for the participant and for the conference. Simply put: it increases the ROI.
 

Where does participation fit?

Book Description   Influence: Science and Practice is an examination of the psychology of compliance (i.e. uncovering which factors cause a person to say “yes” to another's request). Written in a narrative style combined with scholarly research, Cialdini combines evidence from experimental work with the techniques and strategies he gathered while working as a salesperson, fundraiser, advertiser, and in other positions inside organizations that commonly use compliance tactics to get us to say “yes.” Widely used in classes, as well as sold to people operating successfully in the business world, the eagerly awaited revision of Influence reminds the reader of the power of persuasion.
