Interactive Voting System (IVS)
We recommend using modern technology in your events in order to make congresses, conferences, and seminars more interesting and engaging for your audience.
Interactive voting systems are a good way to establish a closer connection with the audience and the participants of your event by actively involving them in it, be it a seminar, product presentation, or another event. With the use of a voting system it is possible to find out the audience’s opinion or knowledge regarding a particular subject quickly, accurately and, if necessary, anonymously. The speaker or the event organiser can get the necessary data on their audience, such as the experience, age, or education of the participants, as well as organise knowledge tests. For example, by performing a knowledge test on your audience before and after your speech, you can judge the effectiveness of the training process!
Interactive voting systems have become very popular, as they help make presentations more interesting and engage the audience by conducting polls, drawing audience members into discussions, and facilitating the exchanging of views. They also help making the audience into active participants by involving them in the event and by getting feedback from the audience. Interactive voting systems provide event organisers with the ability to conduct all types of voting and make possible the receiving of accurate results instantly.
There are also several less effective interactive voting technologies on the market, which we wouldn’t recommend using. Many of them use cloud-based software, which is a solution that is subject to various major limitations -- for example, often it isn’t possible to add additional questions quickly or to get results, and often these systems lag due to slow internet connection, meaning that the audience is forced to wait while the speaker solves technical problems, and so on. In order to participate in the voting, all participants must have a smartphone, must log in to the website with a password, and may need to install a new application which then must be deleted. The organiser of the event must ensure a stable and powerful internet and WiFi connection or use mobile data, the latter of which could lead to additional costs and force breaks in the presentation. The data collection and processing of these voting solutions usually takes place in the cloud, without providing secure and fast system operation.
In order to avoid these limitations, we offer using voting systems produced by IVS (Netherlands), the world’s leading voting equipment manufacturer. They are user-friendly, easy to configure, and convenient to use. The IVS system quickly processes and presents the voting results. With the use of this system, you can ensure all kinds of polls and create engaging questionnaires and competitions. IVS allows you to add questions in a presentation slide and to view the results straight on the next slide immediately after the vote, without any delays or interruptions to the presentation.
Our service provides each of your event participants with a wireless voting unit that is equipped with a display, showing the voting options and the confirmation and deselection keys. Voting can be done both anonymously or not -- for example, in order to be able to record the results of each participant’s knowledge test. If the voters need to be identified, each participant has to use a personalised smart card which is placed in the voting device. After the end of the vote, it is possible to display the result directly on the screen in the form of a chart or a graphic table. During voting, in order to fill the silence, it is possible to automatically play selected background music, which, together with visuals, gives the participants information about the time remaining until the end of the vote. The working radius of the IVS interactive voting system device is around 100 m, making it convenient to use in large events, organised in big arenas, exhibition centres, and other vast spaces.
Before the event our technicians, together with the event organiser, will carry out all the necessary preparation work, help adding the created questions, and coordinate the vote visualisation options. It is also possible to use the logo of the event organiser or of the promoted product, as well as the corporate colours, etc., in the voting visuals. If participant identification is required in the voting, we will programme special voting ID cards that will have to be distributed to participants prior to the event. During the event, our technicians will work together with the client in order to ensure that the system works flawlessly and to provide the opportunity, if necessary, for the speaker to ask any unforeseen questions or to make any changes in the voting programme. After the event, the organiser may receive the voting results in paper form, if necessary.
Our corporate clients who have tried this system often request it again, thus indicating that it has been really useful to them. We invite you to try it too! Make your events more attractive and interesting, avoiding boring presentations and long, exhausting, and monotonous events.
