“We use Slido to interact with TV and Radio audiences: the host sometimes invites people to ask questions, give feedback, and participate in a quiz. Occasionally we would also conduct UX surveys as it is a platform that the audience already knows.”

In our corporate events we use Slido to allow audience interaction and collect feedback. We address the problem concerning the lack of audience interest in big places through the hosting of live polls and Q&A sessions. This strategy has changed our events to more participatory experiences.

The real time display of poll results and questions helps to engage the audience and brings them real life insights about their stand on the issue.

The capacity to capture audience input and provide response in real-time has imposed increased values of outcomes and satisfaction of attendees.
