Engagement is the Name of The Game

Ever since the restriction on physical conferences and trade shows, everyone in the events industry has been clamouring for a piece of the virtual event pie. The proliferation of tech-enabled features such as interactive virtual booths, real-time livestreams together with on-demand video access and even gamification has paved the way in enhancing new attendee experiences.

Negotiating the terrain of audience engagement is certainly a gruelling task, with the 2021 AMEX Global Meetings & Events Forecast citing ‘Lack of engagement’ as the third biggest challenge amongst its respondents when it comes to virtual meetings [1].

By now, event organisers all around the world are surely aware that engagement is the name of the game. Simply thinking of solutions to address this problem is the easy part — there seems to be a hundred and one ways to capture the attention of the audience. The real obstacle lies in assessing and ascertaining the value of specific “must have” features in the context of the entire event.

Jublia’s innovations are carefully designed to be functional and engaging. With that, we are extremely excited to announce our partnership with Pigeonhole Live!

Driving Meaningful Interactions through In-session Q&A, Polling and Live Chat!

Besides networking, engagement in the virtual B2B events space is primarily driven by curated content sessions that involve keynote speeches, panel discussions, expert opinions and other popular formats. However, why just stop there? We believe that these sessions can be elevated to even greater heights; and we’ve done just that through a deep integration with Pigeonhole Live to drive real-time organic interactions.

Ready to Supercharge Your Agenda Sessions?

The team over at Pigeonhole Live has created an amazing step-by-step guide on how you can easily integrate the Pigeonhole Live with Jublia which you can read here. We have worked closely with them to ensure that the integration process is entirely smooth and seamless.

It is time to bid farewell to static, one-way speaker presentations and say hello to dynamic, two-way interactions that bridge the gap between speaker and audience. Business events are often graced by attendees who are at the forefront of their respective industries and it would certainly be a wasted opportunity to relegate them as mere spectators during an Agenda session.
