This event has concluded.

You can read a summary of the event, participant feedback and the lessons we learnt in the 'Summary' tab below.

Background

In these uncertain times and the recent restrictions to support social distancing, we have had numerous requests of how our EngagementHQ digital tools can be used to replace or mimic face-to-face engagement events.

Whilst many are familiar with how you can use our 8 digital engagement tools, there are many ways these tools can be used to support and increase online engagement, or to be used to host a 'virtual event'.

We hope to showcase how easy this is to do, and perhaps you might consider this approach for an upcoming engagement.

Feature Tool

This live event will focus on the 'Discussion Forum' Tool

We will show you how the Forum tool can be used to replicate a face-to-face workshop with 'breakout tables'.

It will be run as a real-time live event where we will welcome and set the scene, our team of experts will then facilitate small group discussions, before sharing back to the larger group.

    I'm Lauren, an Engagement Manager at Bang the Table (Qld and WA). Welcome to our breakout forum discussion.  I put my hand up to facilitate this forum today, as I thought this was a really interesting topic. 

    COVID-19 has rapidly changed the way we live, work, socialise and relax. Despite this rapid change, organisations and individuals have been very quick to adapt and adjust to our new reality. We all have things we miss from our pre-pandemic life that we anxiously wait to welcome back, but this forum seeks to explore what we've found. 

    What positive change would you like to keep post-pandemic? 

    Maybe it's a simple skill or hobby you've dedicated more time to, maybe it's a change to your working life, or perhaps it's a new way you've found to engage your community - large or small. Whatever it is, share it here and let's start looking for the silver lining. 

    At 12pm we will encourage you to explore some of the other forums, and welcome new contributors to this topic. 

    Some tips to get the chat going: 

    • Keep refreshing your page so you can see what others have contributed
    • If you see something interesting, let the author know!
    • If you have a question for another contributor, don't be shy.

    This forum will be facilitated by Lauren Keating, Engagement Manager (Qld and WA)

    Hi, I’m Jodie, like many of you, I am working remotely, from my home in sunny Sydney. 

    Our topic for our discussion is all about how we’re adapting to a world where digital tools have become the primary way for us to connect. With face to face engagements temporarily off the table, no doubt you’ve had a whole heap of new and unfamiliar digital tools thrust at you, and it's likely that many of them are fast becoming your 'go to' methods engagement. 

    For anyone not used to operating in this ‘Digital-first’ world, this is likely to be extremely overwhelming, and many of us will be experiencing similar hiccups, hurdles, headaches. So jump into the conversation below to offload, and let’s unpack some of these challenges together!

    This conversation is open from 11:45am - 12:00pm, at 12:00 we encourage you to explore some of the other chats. To get the conversation started, i’ve loaded in a few comments, feel free to like/dislike and comment, or go ahead and submit a new one.

    This is a safe and moderated space for kind and constructive conversation. The forum will be facilitated by Jodie House.

    Image of Katie talking to someone with a Bang the Table banner in the backgroundHi, I'm Katie Toohey, I am your breakout facilitator for today. I have been working with Bang the Table as their NSW Engagement Manager since 2018. My role at Bang the Table has always been work from home (WFH) and so over the last few years I have gained experience in how to successfully (and not so successfully) work from home in a remote team. Today I join you from the beautiful Blue Mountains, a few hours north west of Sydney.

    Join the discussions today to share your experience in working from home - what has worked well? What is not working so well? Any top tips? Anything you want help with?
