Whether you're attending a CONVERSATION HACKS conference for the first time or you're a seasoned professional looking for a new way to connect with your audience, there are some things that you should know before you go. This article will give you a few tips for maximizing the value of your conference experience.
Quizzes, questionnaires, and polls
Quizzes, questionnaires, and surveys can be
a great way to get your audience involved in the conversation. Whether you're
planning a conference or creating a website, there are many options available.
Many of them can be customized to fit the needs of the audience.
One great option for creating a quiz is to
use an eLearning authoring tool like iSpring Suite. This toolkit comes with a
quiz maker tool that allows you to create 14 different question types. You can
also add info slides and create individual learning paths.
Split sessions to maximize learning
Split sessions allow your attendees to
collaborate and brainstorm ideas. Use guiding questions to prompt dialogue.
Before you start your breakout sessions, prepare a list of topics that will
stimulate participants' ideas and connections. You may want to play some music
or a countdown timer to keep attendees engaged. In addition, you can mute the
microphones and pause the recording during breaks.
Liveblogging
The first step in liveblogging at a
conference is to choose a topic that is relevant to your blog's audience. Then,
you need to set goals and prepare. If the conference is large, you can choose
to use a microblogging platform. However, if you'd rather write quick updates
about the topic of the conference, a blog post is still appropriate.
A good way to prepare is to look for
speakers before the conference. Many events have speaker lists that are posted
days in advance, and you can reach out to them via social media. Post a link to
your post on your site, and start a conversation with them.
Using conference hashtag to curate the buzz of the conference
One of the best ways to generate buzz at a
conference is to use the conference hashtag to curate content that your
attendees can share. However, it is important to keep a close eye on the
hashtag throughout the pre and post-event periods. If you do not have the time
to monitor the hashtag throughout the event, you should consider using a social
media scheduler to schedule posts for specific times. This will free up your
time for live tweeting during the event.
In addition to fostering social
interaction, the hashtag can also help create a sense of community. In addition
to being a virtual chatroom for attendees, hashtags can be used to announce
events, promote aspects of the conference, and stimulate discussion. Using
conference hashtags is also an easy way to get feedback and track complaints or
compliments from conference attendees.
