Our Social Q&A feature allows attendees to ask questions in real-time during a session.
Attendees can also see the questions that other people are asking and up-vote the ones they want addressed.
So when it’s time for Q&A, the moderator knows which questions are most important to the entire group… not just those willing to raise their hand.

Customer Testimonials
Interview With Reggie HenryASAE Chief Information Officer
ASAE represents more than 21,000 association executives and industry partners representing
10,000 organizations. ASAE hosts multiple large, 2000 to 5000 attendee, annual conferences and
meetings each year.
Conferences i/o has been used at a number of previous ASAE conferences and is consistently
used at smaller scale meetings and presentations.
A: We receive great feedback from the attendees and speakers alike. The speakers are extremely appreciative that the most relevant questions bubble their way to the top. The attendees enjoy the social aspects of the Q&A and knowing what others are thinking throughout the entire session.
What value does Conferences i/o provide for ASAE events?A: The major value Conferences i/o provides is greatly increased audience participation. Being able to see what is on each others’ minds during the presentations really stimulates conversation and make for a very spirited Q&A period!
During our Town Hall meetings, the ability to do on-the-spot polling really adds value to the discussions and overall engagement with the material.

Interview With Amy Shivvers Director of Events at Crain’s Chicago
How has Conferences i/o effectively solved those problems for you?
A: Conferences i/o enables our attendees to ask questions without disturbing the flow of the event or panelists. It also allows the moderator to pick and choose questions that fit the conversation best.
Why Did You Decide To Use Conferences i/o?
A: We wanted to make the Q&A portions of our events more efficient and organized. Sometimes in large ballrooms, questions from the audience can often go unnoticed or be unheard.
We also wanted a way to manage the quality of our questions, ie, eliminate repeat questions and increase the diversity of questions.
MCON14 was a hybrid event with 20+ speakers, 350 attendees in-person and over 10,000 online.
Conferences i/o was used as a means to encourage attendee participation both online and in-person.
What were your initial goals when you decided to use Conferences i/o?
A: Our goals were to have a seamless, user-friendly platform that would allow participants both online and in-person too engage with speakers. We needed something that would work in real-time and be easy for participants and moderators.
Interview With Lara Banker Creative Director of MCON14
Did the product effectively achieve those goals?
A: Conferences i/o was great because it made it so easy for all 3 parties— live attendees, virtual attendees, and moderators — to participate. We were able to embed the application underneath the live video stream on our virtual attendee website and the folks that attended in-person simply navigated to a URL on their mobile device.
What kind of feedback did you hear about the product?
A: All of our feedback was very positive on the experience, from moderators, speakers and attendees! Both verbally and in our post event survey.
