## Engage Your Audience – Speaker Guide

As a speaker, you’re not just delivering content.\
You’re creating an experience.

With the event platform, you can turn a passive audience into active participants:

• Before your session\
• During your session\
• After your session

Use this guide when planning together with your event manager.

***

### 1. Audience Questions – Structured, Not Stressful

Let your audience interact with you in a controlled and professional way.

Attendees can submit questions:

• In advance\
• Live during your session\
• Or both

You decide.

You will receive a personal question link from your event manager where all submitted questions are gathered in one place.

This allows you to:

• Prepare in advance\
• Select which questions to answer\
• Manage Q\&A directly from the stage\
• Let a moderator handle everything for you

No chaos.\
No raised hands.\
Just structured interaction.

***

### 2. Polls & Live Voting – Instant Energy in the Room

Polls transform listening into participation.

You can:

• Ask a question\
• Get real-time answers\
• React immediately

Polls can be sent:

• Before your session\
• During your session\
• Directly from the stage

#### You control the reveal

• Show results live as they build\
• Keep them hidden and reveal them when it fits your narrative

Results are displayed in clear, real-time graphs.

***

### Available Poll Types

**Single choice**\
– One answer per participant\
– Results shown as Bar chart or Pie chart

**Multiple choice**\
– Several answers per participant\
– Results shown as Bar chart or Pie chart

**Text feedback**\
– Open responses\
– Shown as List view or Word cloud

**Ranking**\

**Quiz / Correct answer**\

**Scale statements**\

***

### 3. Plan Your Interaction Intentionally

Before your session, consider:

• Do I want questions in advance, live, or both?\
• Do I want to manage Q\&A myself or use a moderator?\
• Which poll format supports my message best?\
• When should results be revealed for maximum impact?

Bring your ideas to your event manager.\
They handle the setup.

You focus on delivering a powerful session.

***

### The Outcome

• More energy\
• More connection\
• More memorable sessions

When participants feel involved, they listen differently.

That’s when real engagement happens.
