Live 'Discussion Forum' event

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.

When

Wednesday 8th April at 11.30am (AEST - eg that's Victoria time).
