Live electronic voting system

Audience Response Systems

Interaction is the difference between a monologue and a dialogue. Make your next meeting, event, training course or conference interactive by using a live voting system to encourage participation and increase audience engagement.

An alternative to our Event App (which uses participants mobile devices), our credit card-sized keypads allows your delegates to cast their vote securely and in real-time. These responses are then collated immediately by a receiver, and are presented instantly via a graph or chart integrated into your slideshow.

Engage your next audience with a live voting system

Audience Alive offers a range of live interactive voting system solutions that can help you improve your event’s return on investment. Audience response technology allows you to bring your audience into the discussion, by giving them a voice and an opportunity to impact the outcome or goal of the presentation. Live voting systems can be used from a conference to an employee induction or an election; any setting where you need information from your audience.

Information you receive through quiz voting or otherwise, while increasing engagement also gives you a measurable way to qualify the reactions of your audience.

Turn your attendees into participants

Our lightweight, credit card-sized, handheld voting keypad device is used in audience participation as an engaging, real-time voting system. Your delegates can cast a vote based on a series of questions listed on a presentation slide, by each audience member pressing the button corresponding to their response. These responses are then collated immediately by a receiver, and are presented instantly via an attractive graph or chart integrated into your slideshow. Imagine a voting system which is more efficient and easier to conduct, with no long waiting times for a manual count. Votes can be anonymous which means that you can get more honest responses; you don’t get that with a twitter display! You will also be able to get the opinions of those normally unwilling to speak up, not just the vocal majority.

How Can I Use Live Voting Systems At My Conference?

Anonymous:

The system consists of a keypad for each audience member, a receiver, and software that allows questions posed by the presenter. The system allows presenters to pose a series of questions, with the ten button keypads allowing audience members to enter information, which is immediately available to the presenter. Anonymous audience members responses are aggregated real time on a screen, the results then used to form the basis of deeper discussion and understanding in a wide range of subject areas.

Registered:

In a registered vote audience members are given a specific keypad which is registered to their name this allowing further insight into specific audience members’ opinions.

Themed Quiz:

Audience Alive can create an Interactive Themed Quiz based around your business or sector. The quiz uses keypads to allow contestants to answer multiple-choice questions that increase in difficulty. The questions can be tailored to your companies business sector or specific theme (eg: Sports) along with lighthearted general trivia questions. The audience can vote as teams or as individuals. Participants have to answer the multiple choice questions which are displayed on the screen by pressing the required button on the Keypad. Participants can change their mind – the last button pressed is the taken as their answer. Each right answer is awarded points. There are rounds of questions with a leader board after each round. The overall winner is easily identified via the fastest finger leaderboard.

AGM Weighted:

In recent years there has been a marked increase in the level of voting at company general meetings and a move from a show of hands to resolutions being taken by electronic poll. These factors have led to a need to automate the voting process. In response to the changes, Audience Alive has developed an electronic voting system that streamlines the voting process: Polling is conducted live via our moderator and motions are added on the spot for greater transparency. Votes can be weighted by the attendee’s shareholding. Votes are recorded instantly and accurately with the results being displayed live on-screen. A comprehensive set of reports are produced post event.

TV style Debate:

As with classic BBC television shows such as The Doha Debates, Audience Alive can facilitate the voting at a company or sector debate on a specific subject. The audience are asked to vote on the motion at the start of the debate and then again once the debate has concluded. The comparative result is then shown identifying any swing in consensus as a result of the debate.

As factory default, there is one vote per keypad per question. There is no chance of duplication of votes. However, weighted and priority ranked voting is possible. Please ask for details.

How do I track responses from participants?

Create a participant list in TurningPoint and then use the participant monitor to view the responses from each participant. You can either create a participant list using the participant list wizard or by importing an existing file.
