We've all been there. Sitting in a meeting, educational session, or conference, straining to view the slides or hear the muffled questions from the back of the room and holding up our phones to take pictures of the presentation slides only to capture the back of someone's head.
Since 37% of our time is spent in meetings and/or presentations, it seems as if we should get more out of something that takes up a third of our time. Studies show 91% of listeners admitted to daydreaming at events and, according to Forbes, 39% fall asleep at some point during meetings. Clearly not time well spent.
So why are we disconnected at meetings and events? Could it be that the device to which we are perpetually tethered is to blame for our short attention spans? How can we create a better overall event experience and come away with the most "bang for our buck"?
The answer may be in the palms of our hands. What if we could somehow leverage smartphone/tablet technology to create a more engaging event and meeting experience? Presenters could share their presentations digitally, interact with audiences, poll and ask questions, and get real-time feedback. Studies show audiences remember 85% of the questions they are asked. Participants could download presentations and take notes directly on the slides for later review and actively engage with other attendees or share what they just learned via social media. Bottom line: we need meetings to come alive. We need better audience engagement.
Lintelus enables presenters to interact and connect with their audiences, in one simple-to-use, browser-based solution. Using their own devices, attendees can quickly and easily download the slides as well as go back and review previously covered slides. With built-in slide sharing, digital note taking, live polling with real-time feedback, Q&A, and social networking, Lintelus enhances communication, increases interaction, and builds relationships. At the end of the event or meeting, and at a glance, meeting planners and organizers can see how many people have downloaded the slides, responded to polls, and asked questions. Lintelus provides important tools for busy event planners who need to build successful events and evaluate meeting ROI.
