7 Creative Ways to Use Polls at Your Next Conference

Conferences don’t have to be a passive parade of speakers. Using interactive polling is an excellent way to get your audience engaged and liven up sessions. Here are some creative methods to weave polls into your next event:

1. Kick off your conference with an icebreaker poll like word associations or favorite books.

2. Poll the audience at the start of a session to gauge existing knowledge on a topic.

3. Use real-time polls to get reactions to demo products/features.

4. Embed polls in presentations to test comprehension of key concepts.

5. Close sessions by polling attendees on what they found most valuable.

6. Keep polls succinct - 1-5 questions max. Leave time to discuss responses.

7. Make poll questions fun - quizzes, games, and competitions work great.

Platforms like Mockap make it easy to launch polls from any device and display beautiful reports of responses. When used thoughtfully, polls drive up audience participation and provide invaluable insights into your content’s resonance. Make your next conference interactive and high-energy by blending in real-time polling.
